Tens of thousands of armed citizens came to protest in VA, said what they had to say, and harmed nobody at all. Then they left. But not before cleaning up after themselves. Talk about pissing the ones trying to sell the progtard narrative off. I did laugh.

    You really suck that bad at google-fu? Okay, here you go [constitution.org]. But, I mean, shit... Do even a tiny bit of reading on the writings and statements of the founders and you'll see them saying in no uncertain terms that it most certainly did not mean the government got to control gun ownership or possession. Hell, Sam Adams made it crystal clear that he was proposing it so "the Constitution shall never be construed…to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."

    Nah that site popped up first, but I discard any source that tries to authoritatively decide such issues without detailed analyses. We have a supreme court for a reason and the wording of the 2nd has been contentious since it was created. Morons like you only listen to what you want to hear, everything else you discard out of hand. I actually read the whe wikipedia page on the 2nd which detailed a ton of the historic decisions on the topic and I stand by my opinion that individuals should own guns, but we need to have proper licensing, background checks, training requirements, and strict regulation of military grade hardware. Of course I'm also of the opinion that barriers to entry should cost citizens nothing, so training would be a public service and licenses only costing money for your 3rd+ weapons.

    But hey, keep being a spastic moron who thinks he knows better than the actual founders of the US and every legal expert that has weighed in on the matter. Totally within your expertise ayyyuuupp /s

    PS: the intent of the 2nd was originally for state level protection against invaders, and militias were groups that actually practiced military tactics. Thankfully the supreme court has upheld the interpretation that anyone can own a weapon

      Then try CNN's analysis. It was one or two results down and said the same thing, even though CNN desperately wants the truth to be otherwise.

        By the transitive law I declare myself correct. You say CNN is lying fake news, therefore ipso facto you lose! GG EZ
