    Yes, I mean that they never meant to grant everyone some sacred right to own a gun. There were supposed to be some rules around it. Today no one can agree on what those rules were supposed to be. Is “well regulated militia” an army? Regulated by government? Is it still necessary to the security? If not does it still apply? It’s badly written, outdated law. Clinging to it like it’s the only thing saving the democracy is silly. The Supreme Court could abolish it as easily as it did all the other rights. We all know why it didn’t ($$$).

      It has been cited many times before that “well regulated” meant sufficiently supplied and did not refer to how it was controlled. It doesn’t sound like you live here, so your opinion is not going to be taken very seriously to begin with, but your attempt to use modern vernacular to interpret a 250 year old document will get you ignored or ridiculed. Further, when the words “shall not be infringed” they did not fucking stutter, though infringement has been happening. This ruling reduces that infringement and is in fact a kind of fairness we haven’t seen from the Court since Roe vs Wade was originally decided.

        Yes, let’s celebrate even more people will have guns in US. Thank god the Supreme Court is still able to make good decisions when it matters 😂

          Again, we really don’t care what you think. This is a win for every American. I’m happy for you that you live in a utopia.

            And I do realize I’m not going to fix America. I just find it funny how you keep buying more guns to protect your rights but failed to actually protect any of them. Now you fight for more guns because that’s the only thing you can get. If guns were supposed to change anything, do you really think they would let you buy them?
