    You have been proven wrong on every single point you’ve tried to make

    Lol what?

    and not a goddamn word of it gets through your skull

    Yes, because I can read. Like, the original source, the 2nd amendment, heller decision, contemporaneous writings by the founding fathers, other states constitutions with even more explicit verbiage. So I’m the one who doesn’t get it as you beg the fascist government to disarm you. Lol ok

      You don’t know what a militia is and you think the British were fought by, I dunno, some guys.

      You’ve read things and absorbed only what feels like it validates your worldview. You have no idea why anyone would do anything else. You do not care what words mean.

      Useless patience vampire.

          So only men can own guns?

          Only men aged 18-45?

          No. Obviously not. But you demonstrably do not give a shit about the first half of the sentence, despite all this bickering. You treat the conversation as some pitched battle of tone instead of a mutual effort to find fact.

          Defining a militia only matters if you’re going to muster them, which we don’t do anymore. We might as well talk about who’s eligible to get deputized to catch fugitive slaves.

            We’ve already been through this. The first part does not limit the second part. It’s incredibly clear from the direct text, as well as contemporaneous writing of the founders who wrote it

            We might as well talk about who’s eligible to get deputized to catch fugitive slaves.

            You’re the only one bringing up militia.

              You’re the only one bringing up militia.

              Motherfucker it is the first subject of the one sentence we are arguing about. A sentence which goes ‘X being needed for Y, let’s do Z.’ The first part is the only stated reason for the second part. And your stuck ass can’t figure out why it keeps coming up.

              Oh, no, sorry, this is your goal-oriented reading comprehension: ‘we might as well talk about it’ in the sense that we don’t fucking do that anymore, which is kind of important when it is the only stated reason for the thing we’re fucking talking about.
