Actually,

Quote:A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

it's one sentence and the well-regulated militia part appears first. Every shithead who wants a gun is not a well-regulated militia.

Quote:We the people have the right to own guns so as to insure domestic tranquility and defend this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic.

We spend nearly 700 billion a year on an army so you can stand down and not worry about it, Rambo.

There's no cure for that.

Judas, when you've had to respond to a DV call at a house containing fifty plus firearms, you'll understand what gun nuts mean to LEOs. Nowhere in the 2nd Amendment does it say that each individual is responsible for maintaining enough firearms for an entire militia, and yet millions of Americans go apeshit over them, collecting assault rifles, riot guns, and enough sidearms to stuff an elephant-not to mention hoarding ammo for the next Red Dawn. It is ridiculous and deserves ridicule. Go ahead, keep a sidearm if you want. Hell, keep a shotgun and a 30-06 if you hunt. But the fuck if you need an AR15 or an AK47, or a Thompson or Uzi, and the fuck if you need one of each.

People should be allowed to pray and rally to pray. What's the problem? It's not like they would be doing anything productive in the first place.

Here's the problem: the American Constitution states that no government shall be allowed to promote a specific belief or religion. It's against the law for him to be holding this rally. He is doing this such that the church will gather more and more money, it's a scam. I love secularism, I hate state indoctrinated and endorsed bullshit.
