State of Emergency

Journal by The Mighty Buzzard

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.

    The words "well regulated" come before anything else

    It's remarkable how many people can't read a single, fucking sentence. It doesn't matter that "well-regulated" comes before anything else. It's part of an explanatory phrase, and thus, not legally binding.

    It's more than just an explanatory phrase. It is the premise on which the right to bear arms is recognized. Or are you really suggesting that the garbage about a "well-regulated militia" is mere word salad dressing?

      Nonsense. Even if we were to universally decide that we don't need well-regulated militias any more, we still would have that amendment and its constraints. Taking away the premise doesn't change the law.

      I already "suggested" that it's an explanatory phrase. How unsurprising that your conveniently selective reading comprehension shows up again when you want to set up a leading question.
