Your perplexity/ ChatGPT quotes won't erase the fact that the blue states laws around guns haven't actually been ruled unconstitutional…

They're not from AI. And that's because most judges are hacks and the supreme court is generally a bunch of corporate hacks who slow walk 2nd amendment challenges.

Ah yes, judges are morons and you are very smart.

I'm convinced now.

Read the second amendment: the constitutional right is about “A well regulated Militia”.

Keep reading... "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" You can't have a citizen's militia without an armed populace. If 'the people' don't have guns, you don't have a militia.

Yes, again, as part of a well-regulated militia…

No the grammar of the sentence is clear. The right is granted unconditionally. The explanation about a militia is not restricting the right.

I love when random internet people claim “this is obvious” about a topic that has caused unlimited controversies among jurists for the past two hundred years…

(And the current jurisprudence is clearly against you on that whole topic, as demonstrated by those blue states laws that have not been overturned for being unconstitutional…)

> The point is to prevent the state from monopolizing violence, simple as. Absolutely not. The state and the federal government definitely keep the monopoly of violence: you can't kill someone you believe raped your wife, the government can (under due process but still). Refusing the government to have the monopoly of violence would mean that other groups independent from the state can exert violence on their fellow…

A single man is no threat to the state, so your example is wrong. A militia could be. To be able to form militia to resist the government, individuals have absolute right to be armed. The mechanics is really pretty simple. And yes, I believe that extends to all arms, as is written, otherwise the intent - to be able to form militia which can overpower the government - can not be fulfilled. That is the constitution. I…

> Refusing the government to have the monopoly of violence would mean that other groups independent from the state can exert violence on their fellow American citizens. That's was obviously not the intent here…

They also need to invalidate, with jail time for legislators and governors, all the flagrantly unconstitutional gun control laws in blue states. A constitutional right is a constitutional right.

Guns are unpopular in blue states for obvious reasons. I suggest you abandon this desire instead of fruitlessly wallowing in rage for the rest of time. It just seems unpleasant.
