when the Constitution was written and how people (slave holding white men only) understood it then.

They don't want to tax their lazy minds to do actual critical thinking to adapt and interpret the document to fit modern times. I am amazed that this is all the "big deal" that was made about originalist/strict constructionist Scalia.

What a croc of stuck-in-18th-century, lazy ass thinking this is.

If they applied that thinking to the second amendment, there would never have been any workplace/school mass shootings as white men property owners would only have access to single shot muzzle loading muskets.

But of course they don't. They always find exceptions that benefit right wing extremists.
