Republican men seem massively troubled about their masculinity — and that’s literally causing death and suffering

      California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Hawai’i, New York, Massachussets, New Jersey, and that’s just off the top of my head.

      Now, can you point out where in the Bruen decision it was stated that the second amendment only applies to handguns intended for self-defense?

        The original argument was, 'how will I protect myself."

        In a self defense situation I believe a hand gun will suffice.

          You believe it will. But that is not always the case. And self defense from what, precisely?

          Moreover, self defense was not the reason for 2A. It is a reason, but not the reason. 2A is what allows community activists to band together to protect people giving out food to homeless people, or prevent fascists from beating drag queens that are trying to read stories, because–in both cases–the cops are on the side of the oppressors.

            Mm. Ok, but I am much more practical then you are. So, I’m not sure I am equipped to address all your concerns about what rights are being infringed and what a well regulated militia is. What commas go where…
