I'm not sure why you are telling me. I am just a humble member of the Proletariat.

What is really at work in the mainly East Coast and Midwest abrogators of the Holy Writ of the Sacred 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is the conflict between the rights enshrined therein and the simultaneous need to deprive a large, restive and mobile black population of those same rights simultaneously. If you fit the right demographic profile you can obtain your rights back on the down low. If it were not so NYC, NJ, IL and a number of other states would have to officially secede from The Union and that is not happening, is it? That's not good enough for some though. They want open, concealed whatever, just no holds barred anarchy with respect to firearms. How 18th Century. Seriously, does it look like 1776 to you??? Is it reasonable to be setting out principles and ideals from 220 od years ago in LARGE CAPITALS?? REALLY??!! No matter, as we speak, Democratic Senators are in open revolt on The Floor, and are insisting on a new vote on a new nail in the coffin of the lunacy that is the Modern Interpretation of the Sacred Second. Stay tuned.

And the entire reason the 2nd amendment was composed as it was.

It authorized the people to be able to kill those in government, wishing to disarm them. Shall not be infringed was only infringed on, after the Civil War. The war that exercised the 2nd amendment as intended and composed... The 2nd amendment has not changed. The reversal of the power is what changed. Making the Constitution, wall art.
