But if you are familiar with late 18th century rhetoric and sentence construction, the meaning of this sentence is transparent.

The construction of this sentence is typical of late 18th into early 19th century English grammar, in which there can be quite a few dependent clauses, gerunds and commas that come before the verb, and the object of, the sentence.

We can now mock the critics of the 2nd Amendment as unlettered, uneducated rubes.

"What - haven't you taken any courses on the historical use of English in the late 18th century? Go read the back of your Captain Crunch box, you illiterate buffoon."

“ And then I thought: I was irresponsible, as a single mother, not to have been trained and not to have been armed.”

The lights are beginning to come in here, folks. She should be encouraged.

She's still a liberal. Just morphing into a Classical Liberal.

The demoncraps are still leftists, just morphing into fascists. Lefty liberals and lefty fascists are beginning to part ways.

These guys must get paid by each word, the article is way too long.

Get rid of guns and we will be much worse than the police state of Australia. We would be a complete surveillance state worse than China. The UN agenda 21/2030 would start killing off 85% of the population. We would own nothing and the World Economic Forum would be happy.

“ We can now mock the critics of the 2nd Amendment as unlettered, uneducated rubes.”

Indeed. As a bonus we turn Alinsky against them. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

The article is BiPolar-
It goes along nicely, then always, the caveat.

Too may “but . . .” statements for me.

The first part about historical language struture is great.

The rest, a scared shiiteless liberal trying to justify her desire to be safe, is the same old same old with Libs who’ve found the light.

Maybe she had an awakening when she realized all her commie friends dumped women like a bad habit for men dressed as women?

The country will never be without guns. The intention of the left is to disarm the honest, law-abiding, non-violent people who they assume are all White, male, Christian and conservative.

At that point the only people with guns will be violent criminals and the police forces that do nothing to stop them from taking what they want from the now unarmed group.

The problem isn’t guns, the problem is a certain racial minority that never left the paleolithic.

This! ☝🏼

The money quote: “ But it is becoming obvious even to us pacifists, vegans, and tree huggers, that formerly free people who are unarmed are defenseless against the criminal tyrannies exerting massive violence and control upon them.”

It is a fundamental human right, indeed a responsibility, to defend oneself, one’s family, property and community. Inalienable,
If there is a problem, it cannot be because of a right. And will never be solved by suppressing that right. Look elswewhere for the source of the problem and the solution.
