Based on what?

That's not what the words meant at the time

The easiest way to break this down is this: what people within the US are not subject to our laws because they're not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States? Diplomats. This is effectively the only group left that are exceptions to the rule.

And the best part about this is that it makes complete sense with the actual language of the amendment, based on what the words meant at the time and how governments had operated for hundreds of years. It doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

Maybe, but you would be a fool to deny it the power of common sense.

Ultimately you are still dealing with persuading humans.

And we can clearly see that some humans are persuaded that women can be men and vice versa.

That is an argument relating to amending the constitution, not interpreting it.

That's why it took an entire amendment to change.

Explain how an anchor baby works. What rights and privileges does having a baby in the US confer to the parents? How do they exercise those rights? Cite to the INA, CFR, BIA precedent, or circuit/SCOTUS.

“As there has been no regulation of the militias in the United States gun violence has become an epidemic. The term well regulated militia does not apply to universal gun ownership. You must be trained by your local Antifa group and a registered Democrat to be considered militia and own a firearm.”- President AOC’s first EO.

It’s just “common sense” that the Founders clearly didn’t mean that everyone has access to high powered weapons.

Moron. Trump is a native US citizen. Are you too stupid to understand the meaning of the term "anchor baby"?

This has been adjudicated as recently as 2022. You can buy and possess a wide array of very powerful rifles for personal use. And this will be the hardest right to be taken away and I'm sure you can understand why. I now know you are a flaming red progressive so there is no need in us exchanging our ideas.

No rebuttal needed. You won't convince me and I won't for you. And you can see a USA where a political party perhaps with a stacked court agrees to take our firearms away. I don't. So I don't know where you and I can take the disagreement any farther.

The fact remains, the Supreme Court will hear arguments and make a ruling on birthright citizenship. And that's where we are.

I think you misunderstand. For the same reason I don’t think they will take away birthright citizenship under this current EO, I don’t foresee a world where SCOTUS would take away firearms from an EO by a Democrat. The plain language of both amendments won’t allow for it.

For the record I want less gun laws, not more, but that’s a topic for a different thread.
