Yeah, the repubs are troglodytes when it comes to the MJ laws. They and the Southern Baptists do not realize the farcical War on Drugs was over decades ago... and drugs won.

I think smoking weed is in the Bill of Rights somewhere.

It is a very warped interpretation by activist conservative Supreme Court judges and the gun industry funded GOP. Turns out the correct interpretation allows states to form military units; the forerunner of each state's National Guard.

The 2nd Amendment was to provide teeth to enforce slavery by suppressing slave rebellions/revolts and returning runaway slaves. The Constitution values dark-skinned humans as 3/5ths of a (white) person earlier in the main part of the document.

Some early Americans questioned the validity of the Amendments; whereas they are universally accepted as part of the Constitution (at least for now).

It's called the Right to Privacy. Same justification as used in Roe v. Wade.

That is your opinion only.
The FF who wrote and signed the document expressed very clearly that it is a right not to be infringed.
The militia clause is just a byproduct, not the end.

Wow. Now I really have heard it all.

No, the 2A was added because the founding fathers just used their guns to overthrow a tyrannical government, and they wanted their descendants to have the ability to do the same thing if the need arose.
