can you elaborate why you think the comment about privilege is wrong, rather than emphasizing that you don't like that the word was used? > Not everyone is LGBT+, ethnic minority yes, but some are, and ignoring concerns which apply to them because you're not personally affected by the concerns is, well, privileged - you literally have the privilege of not having to worry about right-wingers driving a car into you onl…

Because "privilege" is a code word and a slur on those who do not agree, and a way to try to shut down rational conversation. Words can have more than one meaning, they can be nuanced, and they can mean something else entirely to the "in-crowd." >like one just did in Texas This could have happened in any state, including New York City or San Francisco or Seatle or any other liberal city and you know it.

I'm not convinced this is the case, or that it is indeed "loaded language" as claimed, as the only evidence behind such claims is you, a random person on the internet, claiming them

in fact, it's beginning to seem like maybe you don't know what privilege is at all. Perhaps you could illustrate that you do, and get back on topic at the same time, by explaining the privilege shown by the post at the beginning of this thread (rather than repeatedly trying to shut down rational conversation with your tone policing)?

Did I? It doesn't seem like I did, perhaps you wrongly inferred it.

> You are using emotionally laden wording here, rather than just having a healthy dialogue where you disagree

Am I? It seems like I'm just stating the facts, your emotionality in response to them is on you (and totally normal, given these facts)

Yes, that is a decision based on the idea that the actual text of the constitution can be ignored - the literal first two phrases of the original text: "“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, ...". The SCOTUS has now clearly shown that such precedents are not binding, leaving the door open for a decision that does account for the actual text of the constitution's Bill Of Rights. A…

Wait, you’re saying the Supreme Court read it wrong, but you read it correctly? That’s your argument?

Avoiding red states to avoid being shot would be extremely dumb for many reasons. 1. Cities and neighborhoods in any state can be safe, even in the states with the most shootings 2. If you have enough money to choose to live in another state, you're probably not going to be living in an extremely poor area that is the most likely to be beset with gun violence 3. Other commonplace things are much more likely to kill y…

Most of the gun deaths in red states are suicides. So maybe the states are just very depressing places to live in? Like Wyoming outside of Jackson Hole, is a tough place to l is so has the nation’s highest suicide rate.

Wyoming and Montana have the two highest gun ownership rates of US states, and the two highest suicide rates. It’s probably not a coincidence.

Yes, legal hobbyists are allowed to disagree with Supreme Court decisions.

That doesn’t mean they are right, in fact it almost certainly means they are wrong.

So yes, in America you’re allowed to be wrong.
