In reply to the discussion: 2nd Amendment Poll [View all]veganlush
(2,049 posts)there have always been plenty of infringements, so "shall not be infringed" are just words. The second amendment is meaningless in the modern world. "well regulated militia" was not put in there just to use up extra ink from the inkwell either, it meant something at one time. As for arms, nuclear arms are arms and would be included if the modern interpretation wasn't so farcical. As for bearing arms uninfringedly, that's another joke. There are plenty of places where no one would want this to apply. There are plenty of places where bearing arms has long been "infringed". Would gun lovers like hannity ever go up onstage in front of an armed crowd? never. The Second Amendment doesn't apply in the modern world, period, this is not an opinion this is fact. The world is round, not flat. Adam and Eve is just a story. Same with Noah's ark. Evolution and climate change are real. The second amendment is fake outside of it's original context, period.
