| Oh I read up, I see that you're pro-gun (I think?), and I do agree that it is still interpreted too heavily on the side of restriction.
I disagree with your interpretation though. I think the amendment as is, is what you want, it was just written in old school english and our government/supreme court has twisted it's meaning for so long that it's almost useless now (in relation to the new amendment you'd like, which I agree for the most part).
From a purely linguistic standpoint though (no bias, no agenda), the amendment, as written, is very much stated as a personal right, with no implicit means of restriction, and no dependence on it being for a militia (really its the other way around, imo)
I think we're both on the same side though, I just think it already means what you want and the government needs to stop twisting it, and you think we just need a new one altogether to clarify. I'd be very satisfied with either as a solution lol |
