A Florida jury has convicted a white woman accused of manslaughter in the shooting death of her Black neighbor amid an ongoing feud over the neighbor’s children.
The 2nd amendment says “a well regulated militia” and we do not have that. So maybe it’s fuck the politicians that keep our guns poorly regulated. That is what is doing more harm than good. The second amendment is designed to allow citizens to defend themselves from government tyranny not to have guns just for shits and giggles.
Not just government tyranny, but outside threats too. When it was written, the state didn’t have the armies or infrastructure to defend the entire United States. Militias were intended to act as a national guard, should independence or the republic’s borders be encroached by outside nations. This required things to be “well-regulated” too. Who has what weapons and where should militias need to be raised to protect the free-state.
In no way can I fathom a militia comprised of today’s Gravy SEALs and common citizens being effective, either in organisation or physical ability. Ironically, their aid would likely be a negative things for forces protecting the state. All because of poor regulation.
I think you mean fuck the 2nd amendment. Because it does more harm than good.

I know, and I don’t know how the “well regulated” part got to be completely ignored? But that’s how it is.
Because the second amendment is written like ass, even for back then
Like, it’s stupidly easy to read that as “because militias are important the state can’t make laws impeding gun ownership”
Too bad SCOTUS doesn’t see it that way.
We all know that the SCOTUS has never been wrong about anything.
Good call.
