Read it again and take note where the commas are placed. It's pretty important.

So what's your point: let's just ignore the first half of the amendment, clearly the framers didn't think it mattered because they used commas?

And as a side note, the English language was significantly different hundreds of years ago, so applying any of our modern understanding of commas to it would be incorrect.

Seriously, try rubbing those last two brain cells togther to maybe come up with something not profoundly stupid.
Haha whataboutism- what an effective and intelligent argument. Ah! Another insult! Hearts and minds eh? You feel the way you want my guy. If you can't see what's happening then there's no hope for you.

Why is the republican party split?

Also, the GA senate race will be interesting. We got Uncle Phil vs Uncle Ruckus over here.

- background check wouldn’t have stopped this shooter, had no criminal record. Most of the gun violence in this country is perpetuated by felons with criminal records who are not legally allowed to own guns but still do

- waiting period would not have stopped this shooter, he had this thing planned like most do and likely have been willing to wait

- Red flag laws would not have stopped this shooter. These I don’t have a problem with but the FBI frankly SUCKS at them. One of the previous shooters posted online they were going to be a “professional school shooter”, was reported, and the FBI didn’t do shit

- Making it age 21 to buy a gun MIGHT have stopped this shooter, depending on his resourcefulness. He could still buy one from a friend, family member, or just whoever on the street if he had any connections at all. But I’ve already said I don’t have a huge problem personally with making legal age to buy a gun 21, mostly because I’m ageist against 18yr olds and think they’re morons

Just brainstorming because a lot of people are bitching about guns but not proposing any laws that could stop this sort of thing, unless they did and I missed it, I’ve only skimmed most posts

I proposed only women and trans women should legally be permitted to own and operate firearms

That might have stopped this dude, and a lot of other crimes. All, no, but some, probably. And it would still prevent a good bit of violence against women perpetrated by men
