910 would still fuck <| sep |> I really want to hurt this guy that ' s been pissing me off a LOT . Is asking if I ' m I allowed to wish people ' s death on here the same as actually wishing it ? <| sep |> I don ' t want to make this into a giant thing , so I ' m hoping it ' s just you who reads this . But yeah , you ' re right . I looked into the actual background of the 2 nd amendment after I wrote that comment , and you ' re right . The passage was originally written to solidify the right for the people to own arms the militia part , as well as a confusing sort of religious conscientious objection provision I think ? , were tacked on as secondary elements . So the founding fathers literally wanted everyone to have guns , unless you propose that the people refers to a collective nonindividual right , as opposed to a private arsenal . But as Scalia may he rot in hell pointed out , it would have been uncharacteristic for the constitution writers to use the phrase the people to refer to anything but individual rights . So I ' m torn . I think the 2 nd amendment is unilaterally bad for this country . Private ownership of mankilling firearms is only harming us almost all other advanced societies have curtailed their availability because its a dangerous and unrewarding liberty to afford people . It ' s frankly absurd to think it ' s a check against a tyrannical government because the military is practically immune to small arms fire . But owning firearms is literally what they intended , so we ' re stuck with it . I still think the ACLU has the right position , but I ' m struggling to define how it relates to constitutional literalism versus plainold common sense . I think we ' re in the unfortunate position of trying to interpret ancient texts , as would a legal worker during the Christian theocratic Middle Ages , and applying it to modern problems .
