- rjbwork 4y agoNot really deference. Just a cold analysis of the state of things.
- spacemanmatt 4y agoYou can't just say "the 2nd amendment" and assume we all mean the same thing. Radical misinterpretation is way too common for that.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoWhat do you think it would mean?
- spacemanmatt 4y agoThat's a good question, and an illustrative one. It means what supports my argument, considering I have only invoked the amendment by name rather than by any specific consequence or ruling. I hope this helps to illustrate the sham of simply calling out "the constitution" or "the 2nd amendment" as a reason.
