The 2nd amendment isn’t confusing at all. I don’t think there’s another law in the history of the country that’s as well documented to have meant one thing. People only pretend not to understand, consciously or not, for ulterior ends. Or maybe they’re grossly ignorant and can’t read, aren’t familiar with how constitutional language works, or haven’t bothered to consult the vast literature on the subject.

Here’s a cheat code: whenever the Constitution says “the right of the people,” it means the same thing.

Exactly.

Funny. The author obviously considers himself to be an intellectual, possessed with great wisdom that must be shared with us who are less fortunate.

But never read or at least does not understand the writings of our founders.

George Mason, co-writer of the 2Nd Amendment, for one.
