    That’s not how US law works. The Supreme Court wants us to believe we’re all the militia, so that means we can all flounce around with our boom toys and if ten people get shot then it’s just an unavoidable tragedy.

    Trying to spin the rulings to something that would be more rational isn’t an honest conversation.

      That’s the current ruling, like it or not, if this ruling were to change, it would be easily circumvented and possibly incite major demonstrations and possible congressional action. Like it or not, there are guns in America.

        That’s not true. This spate of rulings is extremely recent. In the last decade or so. We went 200 years without them and no major demonstrations, except at the NRA convention when it was captured by the gun lobby and began pushing this rhetoric. Nobody’s marched on D.C. for their gun rights, like they have for civil rights. In fact these rulings are deeply unpopular in polling. And as we’ve seen recently, “SCOTUS said” isn’t a source of authority anymore. Especially not since they straight up lied about colonial era gun laws to make their Bruen ruling or used 14th Century English Church Law to overturn Roe v Wade.

        It may be “the current ruling” but that doesn’t make it right.

          Most gun rights demonstrations happen at the state level since states have more control over guns permits and limits. Virginia has an entire day every devoted to it I believe. To you it is not the correct ruling, but to gun owners it is. Besides, banning a one person militia or small militias would break the shall not be infringed part of the second amendment, any way you put it, guns are here for Americans.

            I’m a gun owner.

            And I disagree with you.

            If it was a big deal there would be a million man march in D.C. especially since these are federal rulings.

              Show guns or you’re just larping, and it’s not a big deal because shall not be infringed stops it from being a discussion. No need to march on this issue federally, especially since the courts currently are attempting to restore rights to the people.

                Lmao, okay.

                And you can’t read just half an amendment. That entire farce is a Roberts court invention.

                    You do realize I could post literally any picture with a gun in it right?

                    At any rate maybe this rifle will work?
