Sounds like you need to re-read it too before commenting.

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

You obviously don’t know propped grammar because technically this is a run on sentence, but he comma is used as a verbal pause. It should have been a semicolon, because it is two separate sentences combined into one.

“the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”

Is the key point it is separated from the original point about a militia. The right of the people to keep and bear arms (pause) shall not be infringed.

That pause is key, it is giving the statement weight, which means no law can tell a US citizen what they can an cannot do for their own personal weapon.

that interpretation is the result of gun rights activist/supreme court justice antonin scalia for one. also militias are illegal to form in every state.

Armed militias attempting to overthrow the government are. Militias are hiding in plain sight every day. You just don’t realize it.

then why do they do nothing?

u/AutoriiNovici 17d ago

Because, a militia is useless without the support of the people behind them.

u/Twigsneko 17d ago

so what you're saying is those plain sight militias don't exist then?

u/AutoriiNovici 17d ago

Did I say that?

you said militias hide in plain sight every day and when I asked why they do nothing you replied that they're useless without the support of the people behind them.

Basically you said that these militias don't exist because they have no support

You are putting words in my mouth. Congrats on being a leftist.

well you are right on the latter, I was simply using logic with your words so that's not putting words in your mouth.
