If people are incapable of behaving themselves, why would you vote for a person to be your super daddy? Isn't consolidating all that power in the hands of a person going to enable an irresponsilbe person(s) to control you ?

Name the person capable of running your life better than you.
You're saying that when you vote for a person, the result is just for you? We're voting for personal assistance?

There seems to be a common theme in your posts, which is that you're unable to comprehend a society where people are able to think beyond their own personal interests.

It's called narcissism, btw.

When people vote they are imagining the result can somehow sanctifiy things they themselves can't / shouldn't do, which is both appalling and amusing.

You like to call me a narcissist, but I'm not the one trying to use a vote to control other people am I?

There is a common theme in my posts, it has to do with respecting others choices. When you vote, that doesn't happen.

If we’re going to talk about historical context, shouldn’t we also consider the fact that the Bill of Rights was written at a time when a musket was a super weapon.

An 18th century style revolutionary war would not be possible today.
Maybe you didn't watch the whole video through to the end?
It's not all about the historical context.
Its a simple interpretation of the law as it stands today.

I call you a narcissist because all you care about is yourself and somehow you think your thoughts on something outweigh the thoughts of everyone else as long as you're like super peaceful and stuff. Nations are supposed to act as a team, but all I hear from you is, me and I. You have no clue about unity, or brotherhood.

You think you're so special that you think someone should have come up to you when you were born and ran the entire list of societal commitments by you first, asking for your approval to participate, and if you chose not to, then they should have erased every rule for you and created your own utopia of nobody having to pay anything to create the infrastructure we have today.

All you want to do is leech off the systems that other people paid for and then bitch about it.

I never said it was “all about the historical context” so why are you implying that I did?

If you have difficulty comprehending a two sentence post, a 5 minute video might be too much for you. The video I watched talked about the importance of understanding the historical context of the words “militia” and “state”.

Because the historical context is what you chose to focus on.

I just wanted some people in here to understand the law and how it works. The individual right to bear arms is protected.
The only way to change this is with an amendment to the constitution.

There are highly-placed appellate judges who dont share your assurance.

I made a comment about historical context because the video did. That’s all.

I thought it was a good video and agree with the assessment that the individual right is protected. I didn’t mean to dispute the video. My comment was meant to imply the right, as it’s written, may need updating.

You seem to like blanket guilt as a rationale. Is it possible for a person to be armed and also be peaceful ?

So do you propose police use guns to make sure you are disarmed ?
Police don't need to disarm anyone using their guns because no one is armed. Guns are not available so it's not a problem.
I see you like to ask questions you think will suit you agenda. That's what people who think they are intelligent like you tend to do try to validate their opinions!!

If the government decides to come for your guns, even if you own a Sherman tank, you will be no match against a fleet of drones you don’t even know are there.
No way @Rob Roy will turn into Rambo and single handley defend every citizens right to own guns with his extensive armoury!!
