The historical record informs us of what the words of the Second Amendment meant when the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791.

Onside believes words have meaning. The other side constantly changes meanings of words to fit their politics. I’ll go along with the meaning of the U.S. Constitution assigned at its birth. 😂

The 2nd Amendment was enacted,first and foremost,as a check on bad politicians. My primary reason for owning a firearm is to let politicians know that I am not completely helpless if they "go too far".
Self defense is a secondary concern...and I don't hunt.

You've gotta give Governor Hair Gel credit...at least he's now addressing his contempt for the 2nd Amendment in the only proper way: he's proposing a Constitutional Amendment.
But one would assume that he understands that even if his amendment gets through Congress he'll be lucky if 15 state legislatures would ratify it.

We became a nation due to a Revolutionary War kicked off by the attempt to confiscate privately owned arms thwarted by the actions at Lexington and Concord. Just based on that, that anyone could think the 2nd Amendment meant anything other than the individual right to keep and bear arms, is just a sign of insanity and/or disingenuousness.

He knows it’s doomed. I think he just wants his name out there, and credit for the effort.

They’ve gone to far. They’ve even gone far beyond going to far.
The deterrent of the 2A is a toothless lion if it never used.
The Tree of Liberty is a desiccated husk.

Well, when you put it THAT way, of course it is.
However, the scarier reality is that many would just say "All history is racist", and go from there.

I exist in a natural state of sarcasm, so I need to do better at identification of it.
Thanks for the welcome.

It’s hard not to be sarcastic anymore, the world being what it is…
