(23,253 posts)I live in a low crime town, (high in drug trafficking, because there is a n/s Interstate with easy access). I don't worry about getting my pursed snatched, or getting mugged, home invasion.
I do go out, mainly for groceries, a few other errands, but hesitate to go to crowd venues, figuring the odds of getting shot by a rwnj anarchist killer who wants to set a record for the most fatalities and brag about it online. Or more darkly, my own conspiracy theory that the rw wants all members of their unpaid, untrained army to have the guns and ammo they need to try to subvert the will of the people by answering the call from any rw fascist mouthpiece with access to a national megaphone. Better to have a few gang members, a few mentally ill people, a few minors get hold of guns and kill innocent people trying to share an experience, than to deny a single one of their fascist soldiers arms.
Try as I might, no other reason for perverting The Constitution of the United States of America makes sense. If 2A is to be interpreted as liberally as can be, then the body and every other amendment deserves the same kind of interpretation. But no. Our right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness has been ignored; and by the actions of the rw fascists on the (formerly) s.c., that entire phrase has been made meaningless. The 14th Amendment clarified individual rights for all Americans (to put it in a vague nutshell) and yet, women are denied the right to control their own bodies. So the current murderous interpretation of 2A has to be intended for an entire shadow army to have weapons, and if there is collateral damage, it is a small price to pay when the end (loss of Democracy in the U.S.) justifies the means to an entire class of people who see a bottom line and absolutely nothing else.
