[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pro-death rightwing conservative Supreme Court made up an individual right to carry arms. They did this to get votes for their billionaire-fueled agenda. And enrich gun CEOs, too.

Gorsuch’s patron is rightwing billionaire Phil Anschutz.
Scalia died at a billionaire-funded gun junket, and Koch billionaires gave money to GMU to name a law school after him.
Roberts hobnobs with the billionaire-funded Fed Soc, which pulls in money from both Koch billionaires and Heritage billionaires.
Alito: same.
Amy Barrett was a little-noticed law prof, a radical at a conservative Christian law school, who got her first seat from Trump and her second seat from Trump too, both backed by billionaire-funded ads through JCN.
Kavanaugh: billionaires at Fed Soc, billionaires through JCN.

Is it any wonder this SCOTUS decides for billionaires 90% of the time?

These decisions put my kids at risk. And these mediocrities do it for power and to help GOP donors. It’s disgusting and un-American.[/quote]

“These decisions put my kids at risk.”

Sorry. This is an emotionalist, phobic reaction. Lawful firearm ownership and use makes people safer, unless they are criminals.  The Supreme Court did not invent anything. You need to stop getting your information from anti-gun fear porn sites and do some actual research. The individual right to bear arms has a long foundation. [/quote]

+100   It's like for some people, the constitution does not exist. [/quote]

Or it’s like for some people who didn’t drink your NRA kool aid, the Supreme Court’s conservatives’ belabored interpretation of the second amendment is ahistorical and absurd [/quote]

Belabored interpretation?

Hmmm. Let’s see….something about….what’s the word?   Oh yeah - CONTEXT!

You have a collection of ten amendments, nine of which very expressly grant rights and protections to the [i]individual[/i] - EXCEPT for the [i]second one[/i] on the list - “which establishes the right of the govt to arm its soldiers”.

Now tell me - in what possible contextual sense does that sound plausible?

It’s akin to you writing your grocery list down, and at item #5, you wrote a Haiku instead. Then at item #6 you were back to groceries again.

No one does that. And the Founders didn’t either.
