Re: Responsible Rat-Poison Owner Accidentally Rat-Poisons Six People In Isolated Incident
That's what I'm doing. The Second Amendment clearly does not apply to people who are not members of "a well-regulated militia", yet your government stupidly follows the misinterpretation of the law.
No, you're still faulting the government for following a law they have no power to alter even in opposition.
Your interpretation of the amendment is agreed to by many, and disagreed to by many, of the best constitutional scholars around. The court, split 5-4, came down on one side. The Rule of Law requires this government to act in accordance with that interpretation. Not optional.
This not the perfect system. In fact it is the worst system except for all the others ever tried.
I can live in a society ruled by law even if imperfectly. As we have seen throughout history the alternatives eventually devolve into abuse, anarchy and war.

Historical Revisionism
"Worst Mass Shooting in U.S. History"
NOT!
See Yontoket
See Sand Creek
See Wounded Knee
See Tulsa, Oklahoma
See Fort Pillow
See Elaine, Arkansas
The Pulse Massacre in Orlando stands on it's own as a grave tragedy for this country, but the hyperbole as the "worst mass shooting in U.S. history" is insulting.
