    Are you suggesting the ambiguously worded will of the slave owners and their enablers from 250 years ago should be adapted to modern reality? What kind of filthy commie talk is that?

      It’s not ambiguously worded.

      This man was clearly part of a well-regulated militia.

      More relevant is that people who needed to hand pack and load every mystery ball one at a time after every inaccurate shot couldn’t possibly imagine a reality in which everyone has easy access to high velocity semi-automatic weapons that hold a dozen or more rounds and can be reloaded in seconds.

      There’s kinda a big difference between 3 rounds a minute and 3 rounds a second.
