    Does a right to bear arms mean something besides owning and carrying loaded guns? Because writing down who has which guns does not stop that in any way.

    Unless maybe you’re picking the conclusion you want and working backwards.

    Here’s a fun one: should full-auto submachineguns be available at 7-11?

      I won’t make a comment on whether automatic submachine guns should or shouldn’t be available at a convenience store. But I will state that under the Second Amendment, any law that prevents people from owning and using submachine guns is illegal.

        That’s pretty “should,” guy.

        That’s straight-up endorsing 7-11’s ability to sell literally any gun to literally anybody. If you have hesitations about whether that’s a fucking terrible idea… good. Maybe we can talk about that.

            Either you think full-auto should be unrestricted or you don’t.

            And if you don’t, great, let’s talk about which restrictions you like.

        Your exceptionally narrow view of and focus on singular word in an amendment is hilarious.
