An Oct. 4 editorial in The Sun made note of Congress’ inability to respond to mass shootings with any significant action. The sticking point is always the supposedly sacrosanct Second Amendment’s dominance over whatever preventive action that could otherwise be enacted.
In reality, though, nothing could be further from the truth. There is no constitutional roadblock standing in the way. |

Bulldooky.
You will never overcome the grammatical structure of the sentence.
1) The prefatory clause merely states the reason the guarantee is being ENUMERATED. It neither creates the right nor places any conditions upon it.
2) The operative clause assumes the right as preexisting independently, and declares it sacrosanct.
Those are the grammatical facts.
Please stop ignoring them.

U R 100% CORRECT, PHORTO!
In addition: While (Fake) POLLS declare "Even NRA Members agree that 'some' Gun CONTROL is necessary under the 2A" - what they DONT [WONT DARE] tell u is -
CURRENTLY, THERE's MORE THAN 20,000 (!) GUN LAWS IN AMERICA! 20,000 + !! SOME LEGAL ESTIMATES TAKE IT UP TOWARDS 30,000 - WHERE THE LAWS R COMINGLED WITH OTHER LAWS!!!
THE 2nd AMENDMENT, HENCE, IS THE *MOST* OVER-REGULATED BILL oF RIGHT IN CREATION!
**ALREADY! SO ENUFF witH THE B.S.!! THERE's ENUFF "LAWS"! WHEN R WE GOING TO START "ELIMINATING" THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS OF USELESS GUN LAWS -THAT THE POLICE, COURTS, CANT POSSIBLY ENFORCE ANYWAY- FROM THE BOOKS! To make it a 'common-sense' BALANCE with the OTHER 9 BoR's!
* ASK A SOCIALIST THAT ONE!

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
