    Okay, then can you explain what you meant by:

    Even in US this “right” was never intended to mean that.

    Because if it’s not the well regulated militia thing, I’m unaware.

      Yes, I mean that they never meant to grant everyone some sacred right to own a gun. There were supposed to be some rules around it. Today no one can agree on what those rules were supposed to be. Is “well regulated militia” an army? Regulated by government? Is it still necessary to the security? If not does it still apply? It’s badly written, outdated law. Clinging to it like it’s the only thing saving the democracy is silly. The Supreme Court could abolish it as easily as it did all the other rights. We all know why it didn’t ($$$).

        It has been cited many times before that “well regulated” meant sufficiently supplied and did not refer to how it was controlled. It doesn’t sound like you live here, so your opinion is not going to be taken very seriously to begin with, but your attempt to use modern vernacular to interpret a 250 year old document will get you ignored or ridiculed. Further, when the words “shall not be infringed” they did not fucking stutter, though infringement has been happening. This ruling reduces that infringement and is in fact a kind of fairness we haven’t seen from the Court since Roe vs Wade was originally decided.

          Yes, let’s celebrate even more people will have guns in US. Thank god the Supreme Court is still able to make good decisions when it matters 😂
