Umm... Unless that's a 6 door vehicle, that racoon is driving (in the US).

Just because you do not comprehend the statement, does not make it untrue.

The SUBJECT of that statement is "Militia". The statement self-justifies, then defines, then acts upon it.

Your question response goes on to further expose your misunderstanding. Don't get me wrong, this is not an attack on you. If there's any blame to your misunderstanding, it lies in the school system.

The Second Amendment grants members of the Militia, the right to keep their guns in their home. AS noted by another commenter, that would be the National Guard in today's terms. In Founders terms, it was minutemen.

All the 2A does is exempt Militia members from State or Federal Laws if those laws prohibit gun possession. It also exempts them if they require the discharge of that weapon in duty of preserving the Free State. This means if the Chinese military drops a paratrooper over a National Guardsman's home, they are exempt from prosecution for shooting at them.

Here's the best part. If we repealed the second amendment, nothing would change. It never granted an individual rights to begin with so revoking it would not take those rights away.

The American/English language is awesome. We've got these great rules with sentence structure and grammar that makes things super easy once you learn the tricks.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Little English trick for you. Remove the words between the commas and see if the sentence makes sense.
"A well regulated Militia shall not be infringed." - Looks pretty good.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, shall not be infringed." - Still looks good and justifies the reason.
"A well regulated Militia, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." - Still looking good and provides context as to WHO the Militia is.

We put it all together and get
A well regulated Militia (which is needed for security) (made up of people with guns) is a right granted to the State.

If we add the missing comma to your initial statement before the word 'shall'.
Yes, the way your statement is written it would contain books to libraries and would not EXPLICITY provide such protections (book ownership) to individuals. It does not limit individuals, but it does not grant them special rights either.

If "the founders" had wanted everyone to be able to buy a gun they would not have included the word Militia. They're authorizing States the rights to form their own National Guard. Keep in mind, they are NOT saying the average person cannot have a gun. It is my belief that during these times of 'unrest' that they wanted at least some form of local army to defend against invasion. Folks that get training on weapon use and military tactics.

Also some food for thought, nowhere in the 2A or Constitution is the word "ammunition". So if the government so wished, they could simply make possession of primers illegal.

Read your statement again and now it makes sense why you think what you think. It's the comma you either left off intentionally or conveniently. Commas matter.

Edit: The 2A does not GRANT or DIMINISH an individuals' right to arms as it never addresses the subject. It only GRANTS the right to those members of the Militia.

Someone hasn't watched Gen V

People require housing. Corporations are people. /s

Yeah, there's thousands of Palestinians that would agree with you. Oh wait, they can't because they're dead.

Or you know, actually interpret the way it was written. Most "gun enthusiasts" are not part of a "well regulated militia".

The parents were anti-vax so...

This comment makes me think you're lying about being 20.

Neuroplasticity. The infant will attempt to adapt to the surroundings, the adult is "stuck in their ways".

People tend to forget that trees have roots.
Roots cause problems with infrastructure.
Hence why when a problem arises you try to "get to the root of it".

Here's an example of what I mean:

Bullets are expensive. Just rebuild the gallows they assembled.

Public hangings go a long way to deter treason.
I draw that conclusion from the lack of hangings and correlative increase in treason.

Nah, the originals are already in the hands of the DOJ, after the CIA, NSA, FBI, and Secret Service got their copies.

Do you have a certificate saying you have donkey brains?

Any cheese by Kraft labeled as "singles" would fit the bill. I've seen American, Swiss, and Mozzarella done this way. Italics as I cannot confirm other countries would consider it cheese.

check the labels folks, "Cheese food product" is called that because it cannot legally be called cheese.

Controversial take: Pay people what they're worth so only 1 adult in the house needs to work 1 job for 40 hours to provide for the family. This will free up that parent (in a single parent household) or free up 1 parent (in a dual parent household); to help with schooling.

Trump said we could cure Covid by drinking bleach and shoving UV lights up our ass. That doesn't make it true and it makes anyone repeating it sound like a jackass.

Hamas was just the bodies that fell along the way.
