A man taking his trash to an apartment dumpster was shot and killed after he slipped while walking and the gun he was carrying went off accidentally, according to San Antonio police.

      Your interpretation of the 2nd amendment is based on decades of propaganda.

      No, the decades of propaganda weren’t so sophisticated. My opinion comes from a reading by an anarchist who closely studied the writings of the founding fathers, and based his interpretation on that and the context of who now qualities as a “person” (women and people of colour). It’s very obviously influenced by what he wants it to mean, but it’s not an unreasonable interpretation.

          This is the funniest lecture on reading comprehension I’ve ever gotten. Not a whole lot of competition, but still.

          You clearly didn’t understand what I said, even slightly.

              You realize that in order to maintain a militia, the average citizen needs to have access to firearms without relying on issuance of them by the state? A militia “in good working order” requires people to occasionally take their personally owned firearm and train with it. How the fuck do you do this without allowing people to freely purchase them?

              How the fuck do you maintain a militia “in good working order” while also banning their existence in peace time?

                  The state doesn’t own arms for a militia. Look up the fucking definition of a militia. They are ran by civilians and are not an official military organization (they are paramilitary), but can still be leveraged by state governors.

                  The state already funds for arms separately for their state National Guard using public tax money funded by the local tax payer, and mandate training on them. They don’t care if a militia doesn’t hold regular training, as long as they are capable of taking orders from the governor and can maneuver in an organized manner.

                  Militias are necessary for when the feds leverage their militarized entities to supplant democratic process.

                  You are a dipshit that needs to work on reading comprehension instead of non-sequiturs to grasp a “win” in this argument.

                  Also, you didn’t answer my question, so I assume you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about and everyone here should simply ignore you.

              You’re cheekily saying you shouldn’t listen to me, cause everyone around you says something different.

              No, not at all; I asked you to clarify what you meant, and explained my perspective to you twice.

              Thats makes me an anarchist.

              Huh? What? How the fuck did you come to that conclusion?! I implied that I associate with Anarchists and consume anarchist media. I don’t think I’ve said a single thing about you except that you lack reading comprehension.

              I’m going to assume you’re a troll, and maintain that assumption unless your next comment is even halfway decent.
