    That particular user likes to ignore the actual linguistic and cultural analysis behind that amendment in favor of a rich history of interpretations of the amendment as some sort of explanation for what it meant, which is a bit like trying to explain the origins of Christianity through reference to only the New King James version to the complete and intentional neglect of the OG Hebrew.

    I wish you the best of luck in reasoning with one so insistently unreasonable.

      Yeah, there’s no reasoning with these people. Unfortunately, people like them only realize the importance of self-defense and an armed populace when they’re victimized by the authorities or by random hooligans.

      Gun control advocates? More like pro-victimization advocates.
