I don't recall any passages about Jesus taking a dump either, but that doesn't mean he didn't.

Also, a right to do something isn't the same as an obligation to do same.

And, Jesus could have called down fire from heaven to smite his enemies. He never did. Why would he need a weapon? Peter had a sword while with Jesus, and Jesus rebuked him for his lack of faith when Peter cut off the Centurion's ear, but didn't rebuke him for having a weapon.

Finally, you're an idiot.

You see, this is the kind of stupid shite that sets us back...

So what’s your plan to prevent similar shootings while protecting the 2nd? Nothing?

Wait, I thought you diseased brain liberals didn’t believe in the Bible?

When the bill of rights was written “well regulated” was a commonly used phrase that meant well trained, well practiced.

The right of the people. We've had this talk before.

Step 1 is identifying why this is happening.

We haven't even gotten to Step 1.

I’d love to see the NRA’s research on the topic.

Why would the NRA be researching that topic?

It's maybe the biggest issue I have with religion. Making shite up and slapping a god's "authority" on it is only useful in the vacuum of that particular religion. It's literally meaningless.

My plan...

Biometric gun safes in EVERY classroom, that may or may not contain a firearm. Only school administration and the teacher know which safes contain a weapon. Teachers have the option to be one of the lucky participants in the program. Or not. Similar to airline pilots.

As a Federal Air Marshal for 4 years after 9/11 I can positively state that gun safes in the cockpit of aircraft have been the #1 DETERENT for future acts. Armored doors helps as well. Air Marshals, you can decide on that issue.

So let's assume you look at that not to necessarily mean the right to bear arms for individuals is not guaranteed. I suppose there is a bit of ambiguity. If only there was another Amendment to deal with ambiguity. Oh yeah there is the 9th Amendment:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people

You might want to look up what the phrase "well regulated" meant to 18th century Americans. You may find the definitions have changed in the last 230 years or so.

You really are too stupid to be allowed to vote. If you had it your way our government would have us all in chains.

Suicide pact the way it's interpreted today in the USA.

For the sake of humanity, at least the USA is unique in the world in this regard.
