You can't ban guns. The right to have firearms is literally in our constitution.
You may be shocked to hear about amendments
Amendments take 3/4s of the states to ratify them. that isn't going to happen. i doubt even 1/3 of blue states would ratify such an amendment.
So, you CAN ban guns! Whoda thunk
you can also build a space elevator.
good luck actually trying to do it.
Mmmm false equivalences
It says bear arms, not own them. It's all in the interpretation
Also, it doesn't specify what sorts of arms. It also specifies it being as part of a well regulated militia...
All armed and trained civilians are part of a well regulated militia. Learn some history.
Yes, as a part of a well regulated militia. How many of these gunmen were party to a well regulated militiia?
By definition of a well regulated milita is armed and trained civilians. So technically, all of them?
