I also know how the bastards tried to ignore a comma in the second amendment by setting up arguments in that regard for year;

Actually they tried to say that commas put there, probably by the transcriber, and not present in early official *printed* versions, had some meaning other than as places to pause, and catch your breath.

Yep. You understand how the statists operate. If there is anyway to interpret this clause to favor their designs, you know they’re gonna try.

I have tested that line with a number of smart people, and the majority could see how it will boldly be argued contrary to your interpretation. With the results of McCain-Feingold still choking us, and the brashness of the current administration, would you care to test SCOTUS on this?
