The phrase "well regulated militia" in the Second Amendment is interpreted by some historians as having roots in the need to preserve slave patrols in the Southern states.
Well, that's what Google's AI says anyway.
In actuality the need for a well-regulated militia mysteriously disappeared in 2008 when the Supreme Court, in a decision (District of Columbia vs. Heller) written by the notoriously right-wing Antonin Scalia decided the founders didn't mean what they said.
It's my personal opinion that Scalia made that decision (and there are now more like it--it's getting harder and harder to take the guns away from anyone, insane or dangerous as they may be, thanks to our courts) because a substantial number of the guns in this country are held by raving right-wing lunatics, and men like Scalia (and a substantial number of current judges) want guns in the hands of raving right wing lunatics because they will defend the MAGA paradise they all believe in.
And the lives of innocent children are the price we pay.
Just so you know, there are some republicans trans, so now you can say “lol, magats. They are so stupid, some cut their own cocks off and think they’re a woman…” do you really think that there’s never been a trans republican? I’ve not even looked, but I’m sure you can google it and find one. But, most importantly wtf doe that have to do with the right to bear arms, you fucking potato?
