You are also failing to include all the qualifiers before "shall
not be infringed", but that's a different topic than what
specifically the ATF does to infringe.
It is interesting that the 2nd Amendment is the only one out of the first ten that contains an explanation of why the amendment is there. It was clever and proactive for them to put it there, but unfortunate that they used the word "militia" whose interpretaton has changed a bit over the years.
When that was written, the blood had barely dried from the revolution. Just about the entire Bill of Rights was written in the context of preventing a future government from becoming oppressive in the way the British government had done. To understand any of those amendments you have to think in that context.
I would hazard to guess that most people hell-bent on infringement do know this. But don't care.

In other news, I guess I won't be buying any new handgun models for a while. It seems the entire industry has decided that these beveled square trigger guards are what's hip now. They're so ugly. This fad can't go out of style soon enough for me.
While i don't approve of omnibus bills, at all, and its freaking hypocritical that people now support them since its 'their guy in office' ( be careful what you wish for. idiots ) it seems that this insane bill Trump is trying to get thru, now has gun rights components tacked on to its sides.
Specifically it sounds like they want to remove SBRs and suppressors ( no they are NOT silencers ) from the NFA. While i would support that Id rather see the NFA removed, as its unconstitutional to being with and was originally created to suppress the rights of minorities. ( and rather see it done on a standalone bill, not the way its happening )
( no they are NOT silencers ) from the NFA. While i would support
This is a stupid talking point. The original inventor Hiram Maxim called them silencers.
If Hxwrks or whatever it's called came out with a revolutionary design tomorrow that did make them silent, would you still say they are protected by the 2A? If the answer is yes, then arguing over whether they are or aren't "true silencers" is beside the point.
The correction of term wasn't really about the 2A, it was about using the correct terminology. It merely suppresses, it does not silence.
Maxim may have called it that, but he was wrong and should be chastised for it.
Totally disagree. And its smarter than 99% of the scum that inhabit this planet.
And the other 2, yes, its false marketing and they should be penalized for it.

This may come as a surprise to you, but deoderant doesn't actually
eleminate odor, hover boards don't actually hover, and AI isn't
actually artificial intelligence.
Deodorant prevents odor from accumulating by suppressing the bacterial activity that causes it. If it's already there though, there's not much you can do about it except wash it off.
Agreed on the other two though.
