Gun Control & RKBA
Related: About this forumAmericans can't handle their guns. Time to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
We must repeal the Second Amendment if we want this country to ever be safe again.
Whether it's killings by police, like the 60 bullets fired into Jayland Walker, or by civilians like in Highland Park, Illinois, Uvalde, Texas, or Buffalo, New York our national record on gun violence is an international embarrassment. It can't be reformed without doing away with guns entirely.
States like California and New York that have tried to set restrictive gun laws can do little when guns are trafficked in from other states. What's more legislative attempts at restricting gun rights were recently shot down by a Supreme Court gone rogue.
We're way beyond what the framers ever had in mind for gun rights already. And for a selective originalist Supreme Court conservative majority, it's hard to justify glossing over the history behind the Second Amendment.

An "originalist Supreme Court", of course, isn't going to go with other precedents. They are going to find in accordance with original intent, thus, "originalist". Water is wet, well, because it's wet. Duh. "People" means individuals, "Arms", firearms, etc. Militiamen were required to keep personal arms available in case they were needed quickly. And, I bet, the guy that showed up with a 15th century matchlock would have been told to get with the program, and get a "modern" arm. And "bear"? Tell me that "bear" means something other than "carry".
