“There are actual documents. ”
Yes, but they all support my point.
” that it is not fluff.”
Scalia, is not Fluff but blaming your view on him is.
Even if we do Accept Heller, my point stands
Heller can be overturned by another court or by a constituional amendment.
“If you are so interested, just go through the documents he is citing and let us know what is there and what you think.”
I have!
Its fascinating
But it doesn’t matter what I think, the court gets to decide, not me.
I am not questioning what the law is today July 2022. That is clear. Sure you can selectively read the constition and history to get any result you want. No question
I am responding to the OP’s question “why gun control is not the correct response to hundreds of mass shootings a year”
The answer is NOT because of the second amendment
“I agree with Curiosity summing up positions.
Of course you do. but he is largely making fluff arguments (there is a hint of the correct answer in there but covered by fluff)
The rogue govt argument is bunk.
In almost 250 years of US history there have been many armed uprisings. Do you support any of them? Whiskey rebellion? NY draft riots? civil war? for that matter, the BLM riots in 2020 (though arguably not armed per se, they certainly caused damage) which of those exercised their constitutional right to fight tyranny ?
how does this work? anybody who decides they dont want to pay taxes defend their property with arms?
He mentioned “see unconstitutional blue state covid lockdowns for recent example)” Ok lets follow this through, Say my store was forced to close “unconstionaly”, do you support my taking up arms and opening fire on any agents trying to fine me, shut me down?
I’ll assume you don’t (correct me if I’m wrong) in which case the argument, well we need guns to protect us from govt shutting stores during a pandemic is nonsense.
sure it feels good to say and sounds like it makes sense, but if you think aboiut it it just doesnt hold up
furthermore to properly fight the US army we’d need grenades, tanks Jets, anti air craft guns. Unless he second amendment defines my right to bear those arms, there is not much good my small arms (not even automatic) will do
