Welcome back Wayne
I was going to say “If this is true, someone needs a serious arse kicking“ but that doesn’t really do the seriousness of the failings justice. I am not usually lost for words, but this I can’t comprehend…….
The supreme court said that the police don't HAVE to respond to anything. This is just par for the course for them

The “social contract” is a one-way street. You pay your taxes or go to jail. In return, the government may or may not provide some of those services you

Imagine the gun owners of today's US submitting to such as this:
Founders Online: 5. A Bill for Regulating and Disciplining the Militia, 18 June …
5. A Bill for Regulating and Disciplining the Militia, 18 June 1779founders.archives.gov
TBF that is what "well-regulated" meant at the time and it has not changed so much since. Make it voluntary, but that sort of thing (organizing what arms a militiaman should have, how much ammunition etc) is precisely how someone should be able to keep firearms at home - as a defence not only for themselves and their families but for their neighbour, their county, state and country.
I mean, it has the immense legal advantage (compared to incrementalist bans / reforms) of being what the second amendment actually says.
I’m American and I don’t understand. The second amendment says we have the right to bear arms in order to maintain a militia, not shoot up elementary schools.
Sure. Of course. "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state", however, has been ignored by the "Originalists" and the 40% of the population that control the US Senate thanks to that sweet, sweet NRA money and an arcane election system.
Further, a massive, massive chunk of gun owners in the US would never in a million years submit to the requirements of a militia in order to keep their precious guns. Frankly, I wouldn't either. I'd hand 'em in first.
An enjoyable thread about the political leaders of Texas who ventured to Uvalde.
One door would make it even easier for a “Don’t like Monday’s” shooter - just get the kids/teachers/guards as they lined up to enter/exit that one place.
What is worth this sorrow - poor Amerie, her poor family
So you are against the 2nd amendment and support it being repealed?
Yes
The purpose of the 2nd amendment was to get the southern states to ratify the constitution because they needed a means to put down slave rebellions
