I’m not sure how your comment applies to
Can you explain?
The Second Amendment was written with the expectation that the United States would not have a standing army. That’s why why the first clause is there. The well-regulated Militia in this context means (potentially) every citizen with a gun willing to fight in the defense of the state. Essentially, the amendment guarantees every capable and trustworthy person access to weapons of war for the explicit reason that if a large portion of the populace is armed, then it becomes impossible to forcefully occupy the country.

No, the decades of propaganda weren’t so sophisticated. My opinion comes from a reading by an anarchist who closely studied the writings of the founding fathers, and based his interpretation on that and the context of who now qualities as a “person” (women and people of colour). It’s very obviously influenced by what he wants it to mean, but it’s not an unreasonable interpretation.

This is the funniest lecture on reading comprehension I’ve ever gotten. Not a whole lot of competition, but still.
You clearly didn’t understand what I said, even slightly.

You realize that in order to maintain a militia, the average citizen needs to have access to firearms without relying on issuance of them by the state? A militia “in good working order” requires people to occasionally take their personally owned firearm and train with it. How the fuck do you do this without allowing people to freely purchase them?
How the fuck do you maintain a militia “in good working order” while also banning their existence in peace time?

No, not at all; I asked you to clarify what you meant, and explained my perspective to you twice.
Huh? What? How the fuck did you come to that conclusion?! I implied that I associate with Anarchists and consume anarchist media. I don’t think I’ve said a single thing about you except that you lack reading comprehension.
I’m going to assume you’re a troll, and maintain that assumption unless your next comment is even halfway decent.
