@onepeg The AI voice is painfully bad to me, but I never heard anyone else complain about it. Also, the writing in the descriptions of items or locations on the map feels like it was clearly AI, and poor quality. Maybe they were just translated poorly, idk.

@SteveO2385 @Newsilentl75433 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal And it’s not “what ifs”, it’s a contingency, moron. That’s the same thing as saying I have airbags so I don’t need a seatbelt.

All of your arguments could be refuted by anyone who has ever opened a history book. We have been lucky in modern history, but it isnt a guarantee.

@SteveO2385 @Newsilentl75433 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal That’s the argument the founding fathers made… that’s like the whole purpose of a democratic republic… for the people, by the people. No one group or person CAN be trusted with power. That’s is literally the whole point of the United States 🤦‍♂️

@SteveO2385 @Newsilentl75433 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal In the same way, the 2A is not about self defense, hunting, or shooting sports. Likely because those were as integral to life as breathing, and were beyond the scope of amendments. The 2A is a part of the check and balance system that they wish they had for the British.

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@SteveO2385 @Newsilentl75433 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal The 2A is not about defending from foreign threats, enforcing the law, or responding to disasters. It is to deter and overthrow tyrannical governments. By nature, the “militia” that is necessary for a free state can not be an extension of the government. 1/2

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@AYassario68087 @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal Probably so. I was just saying 2A is irrelevant here.

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@frisk2700 @shooshmashta @TheOmniLiberal Regulated means maintained, not restricted in this context. Court decisions uphold that understanding.

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@shooshmashta @TheOmniLiberal State there means nation state, not one of the 50 states.

“The phrase ‘security of a free State’ meant ‘security of a free polity,’ not security of each of the several States as such, but rather of a free political society of Americans.”

—Columbia v. Heller (2008)

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal Because it helps paint a clearer picture of what the 2A means. Citizen vs Gov.

The difference between “every able-bodied man” and tax-payer funded, career soldiers, armed with far more than civilians have access to, that are led and directed by the government is pretty stark.

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@SelphinRose @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal A federally funded NATIONAL guard. A branch of the military that operates domestically. The ongoing situation with California is gov vs gov, not citizens vs gov.

The national guard IS the potentially tyrannical government that would need to be resisted by citizens.

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal ^ Both of these were defined as such by the Supreme Court in 2008

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal You have to understand the context. At the time there was no military. Militia meant every able bodied man. It was referring to state militias, the next part would read “the right of the state to have a militia” not “the right the people”. Also, “State” here means nation state.

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@SelphinRose @LSchleusener @TheOmniLiberal It’s actually simpler. Armed citizens can resist tyrannical government. The 2A couldn’t make it any clearer

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal NOOO 😭 my point is just that that is not what the 2A is about. There are other clauses that make the case for state militia. Just not the 2A

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@PolemicalPotato @TheOmniLiberal Dude. Go read the other post. I’m just saying the 2A is irrelevant here. There is plenty of other legal grounds or doctrine to support that, just not the 2A, which is about civilians. The federally funded NATIONAL guard is functionally a branch of the military, not armed citizens

[Arctos @Arctos_DB]

@raulenx @TheOmniLiberal You can find a different opinion from a different framer for anything you want to push. They all had varying stances on everything. The 2A has a widely accepted interpretation that is written in very plain language, and is reinforced by modern court decisions.
