@jaysonmassey I'd say the wording of the second amendment makes it very clear. It is pretty clear about the right to bear arms "shall not be infringed".. its also very clear (and stated in countless direct quotes from the authors) that the "well regulated militia" is a exemplary clause and not a qualifying clause.

So, as far as i can tell, the current wording and history is so clear there isnt much need to make a case, or at least, there shouldnt be much need.

While I am often not very happy witht he GOP leaning SCOTUS on this one I really am glad to have a right-leaning supreme court.

Lets hope they do the right thing and knock down these and similar state-laws as unconstitutional and in violation of the #2A

No need to shut up.. Disagreeing and talking about this is healthy, even if no one changes their mind the exercise is healthy.

As long as you stay respectful, as you have, please feel free to keep brining up as many points as you want.

being in a gun club, taking gun training, and everything in that regard which you suggest is a good thing. I totally encourage people join gun clubs... where the analogy breaks down is when you suggest it be a legal requirement (rather than a strong suggestion) for gun ownership.

There are a few reqasons gun licensing or requiring clubs is problematic...

1) it means some entity can take away your rights if they feel you arent living up to their expectations, this has the potential to be abused, specifically if those clubs that have the power are decided on by the government

2) It can delay your access to a gun, and if you are in danger that may cost you your life. a good example of that would be someone with a restraining order who might be at risk of being raped. They cant wait

3) Unless done very carefully it would effectively act as a registery for who does and doesnt have guns. This can potentially be used by a corrupt government to track down and take away said guns should the government want to infringe on gun rights and become oppressive.

@thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

@alfredo_liberal it is the favorite feature of many. Have you seen all our other features. We have quite a few nice custom features

@alfredo_liberal hey, as a left of center myself I can say you will probably find this a good fit in that regard. We certainly have a more moderate crowd here witb a left lean.

Great to have you on board, reach out if i can help.

@pj

I have nonproblems with making sure the usual background check from a gun were enforced on all purchases. So if thats all you are puahing for you have my support

@thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

@pj

No you can buy prepaid 5g for your router and have anonymous internet if you want.

Thats what i do in Israel, my internet is completely anonymous.

@thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

@pj @thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

If you physically attack someone with a gun you loose the gun... how do you physically attack someone on the internet though? Not sure i follow

@pj @thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

You also need a gun shop to buy a gun, not sure the analogy works too well honestly

@pj @thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

Try shooting someone and watch how fast your gun is taken away... same logic.

@pj @thatguyoverthere @mike805 @lmrocha

Do you think getting on the internet should mean approval from a club thoigh? Cause thats not how we do it now, anyone can get internet and cant be denied.

@pj what approach.. you can fly certain types of airplanes with no license or regulation of any kind... cant remember the last time it was a major issue though, most people dont even know.

@pj

The idea is great except where its required.. it would be like saying if you want access to the internet you need a fediverse instance you join and that gives you permission to get on the internet.
