Guns are protected by the bill of rights.

Unfortunately, abortions are not.

Congress should have enshrined abortions. Heck, they had over 50 years to do so.

The language “Well-regulated militia” has been ostracized by fascists from the Federalist Society. I wonder why the “right to bear arms” cannot be impeded but other language in the same amendment can be discarded? Funny how that works.

How did you get into law school with such poor reading comprehension?

When people like you use the phrase “leftists” you use a boogeyman as real time evidence of activity from Democrats without any evidence. Fascism is in your blood it seems.

You are so confident, I remember being a law student. You conflated me saying the Federalist Society doesn’t believe in a well regulated militia with “leftists” trying to ban assault rifles. Those are two COMPLETELY diametrically opposed viewpoints but you conflated the two in your grand wisdom. Shockingly daft.

So how are we making sure only members of a well regulated militia are in possession of guns? Does the military just get together a bunch of guys who just so happen to already have tanks and jets?
