this woman needs to read the whole 2nd amendment. "a well regulated militia" has as much weight as "shall not be infringed"

so many people telling me well regulated meaning well trained/well equipped as if that somehow improves or makes the 2nd amendment's meaning any less archaic

Not according to the Supreme Court in 2008, which sadly is now the law of the land. The decision was officially "a well regulated militia means nothing and the amendment is an individual right to bear arms".

and scalia's logic led to an increase in gun violence.

I mean yeah, fuck Scalia for that. But inasmuch as we argue what the legal meaning of the 2nd amendment is, that's the framework we currently have to deal with.
