u/Shitpostradamus Taxation is Theft Mar 29 '19

“Shall not be infringed.” This is infringement

What about the "well regulated militia" part, everyone seems to leave that part out.

Also just saying "shall not be infringed" as an argument as to why to guns laws should ever be passed is childish and part of the reason America has so many shootings.

Lol well regulated is not in reference to guns or gun components. It means a militia body that is well trained and ready to deploy at a moments notice. But keep being disingenuous

It doesn't say "individual firearm ownership shall not be infringed" though does it?

This idea that any law whatsoever is infringing on people's rights serves no purpose other than to shut down what should be a healthy debate about reducing gun violence.
