The quote was.....that was where I copied it from....but the context of the quote was not included. Quotes without context as to what the writer or speaker was referring to mean little....people like to apply quotes to situations for which the writer/speaker did not intend it to be.

Well, I guess you got me on that.

Nothing personal and nothing against your intended point, misapplied quotes are just a pet peeve....as is also misquotes. Pretty easy to look up quotes of founding fathers and historical figures to determine if quotes are accurate.

But militias were made up of ordinary citizens and needed their own firearms. That's why "the right of the PEOPLE to KEEP and bare arms SHALL NOT be infringed."

Except even Scalia acknowledged the rights can be infringed. There is a reason for that…

Shall not is not may not. Shall not means they can't. Unless convicted of a felony. Yes, one can lose a lot of rights for that. Like the right to vote.

Not that strange. Most moderate Democrats are disgusted with this adminstration. I wasn't a big Trump fan either but these people are in a class by themselves.

I was more disgusted with the last administration.

But I don't consider myself a fan of any administration.

The court has been clear that states can set limits on where people can take guns, and in some cases who can have guns.

Every right has limits. Guns are not some magical thing that exists outside of responsibilities and the law.

Yes, that was included in my post above. Like I said, their intent was clear.

Absolutely. They never envisioned a world where the citizens were disarmed. Having a gun was liked wearing shoes.
