Bullshit, I was right the first time
Nope. You just weren't.
Militia" means "every able-bodied adult male"
No. Militia is a specific thing. Militia means militia. If they had meant "every able-bodied male", that's what they would have written, except they'd probably go with "man" like in the founding documents.
"well-regulated" means "well-trained.
Again, regulation and training are different things, ESPECIALLY in a government context.
Besides, if the founding fathers intended to limit gun ownership to people who has had sufficient training ti responsibly store and handle them (which would be a great idea), WHY do pro-gun people only ever state so when trying to explain away the requirement for regulation in the text? Very curious 🤔
You're using the meme wrong. Using the word "actually" doesn't automatically make you the ackchyually guy regardless of context.
Then again, misunderstanding intention, meaning, and context in order to misrepresent the words of others seems to be your favorite thing 🙄
Fuck your ahistorical revisionism
Right back at you.
I'm not revising anything. I'm explaining the literal and obvious meaning of language meant to be literal and obvious.
When writing law, having the literal text be the same as the intention is RULE ONE.
The only way your interpretation can possibly be correct is if the founding fathers were EXTREMELY bad at legislating.
We know exactly what they meant when they wrote this shit because they explained themselves in the Federalist papers.
The Federalist Papers weren't law, they were the equivalent of opinion columns.
When the law says one thing and an opinion piece says another, you go with what the law says.
Bottom line is this: I'm right, you're wrong, the end, bye-bye.
Right back at you.
