maybe that a book that advocates stoning adulterers shouldn't be used as a moral compass

I think it should. No book is ever perfect but the book has passed down great values and influenced the Western civilization.

Btw, stoning was the norm-punishment in those days. The times have changed now, although I still believe in the death penalty, as do most Americans.

so we can change with the times for stoning but not for the second amendment?

Ah yes....colonization, programed cultural destruction, forced conversion, kidnapping & slavery, genocides... to name a few. Such wonderous things. You should be so proud.

The second amendment has changed with the times. When it was written, it was pertaining to the use of muskets but now, it's with the use of modern day weapons. So that's not an accurate point to make.

Not to mention it says well regulated right in there.

no, just like the bible, the 2A has not changed,
and, also like the bible, how we interpret the 2A has.

I see the MAGAverse has worked themselves into a lather this morning because Joe Biden fell dismounting a bicycle. Apparently this makes him unfit for office even though he was fine, got up, and later continued the ride.

I guess they’ve forgotten about how their guy practically had to have his hand held to descend a ramp a couple years ago.
