The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"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."

There's nothing wrong with is except for its completely distorted interpretation by SCOTUS. They completely ignore the precondition for bearing arms - membership in a well regulated militia.


Here’s what I find so maddening:

Like with so many things, the far right has ruined the 2nd amendment for everybody.

Absolutely ruined it.

Stretched and twisted it so grotesquely that all it is good for is lining the bottom of a bird cage.

Fifty years ago I was proud of it.

Now, I just want it gone.

An armed society......???

When guns are outlawed......???7

Horse-fucking-shit.
