Foundational constitutional principles and SCOTUS enforcing them with the rule of law, sides with gun rights supporters and completely reject your leftist statist stupidity. "The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy...

Many government stats (especially crime related) lump Hispanic ethnicity into the White racial category. You can be sure of that condition when no ethnicity is noted in the listing of the racial groups. M14 Shooter's stat is a combination which is why it is larger. Your cite to the US Census...

It should be mentioned that the switchover to the new reporting system has been met with large-scale non-compliance, especially among the larger cities. The numbers reported are vastly undercounted.

I'm glad you think that: For 2021, non-Hispanic White males aged 15-29 comprising 5.3% of the US population, experienced 3.9% of US gun homicides. Black males, aged 15-29 comprising 1.5% of the US population, experienced 28.3% of US gun homicides. For 2021, if Black males 15-29 were murdered...

The problem with that is the right to arms is not granted, given, created or established by the 2ndA thus the right does not in any manner depend on the Constitution (including the words of the 2nd Amendment) for its existence. The RKBA was possessed by the people and exercised for a myriad of...

The 2ndA doesn't "allow" anything . . .

All I see there . . .

It just has to be the Black ones!

Violence there is more a problem of Latino gangs fighting over control of the citrus faming and hacking each other up with machetes though . . . So as long as it isn't guns, no problemo!

Neither is it an exercise of the 2ndA anymore than incitement to riot or human sacrifice or making and disseminating child porn, is an exercise of the 1stA.

No, I do not, but by your statement that "The 2nd guarantees we have all these mass shootings" one would expect you to unequivocally believe the 1st Amendment guarantees we have child porn. That's why I asked, as an exercise to assess your level of intellectual integrity. I didn't expect you...

In the same way the 1st Amendment guarantees we have child porn, right?

Let's revisit the original theory . . . "The highest number to which, according to the best computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion...

So much ignorant speculation about "intent" . . . The only intent of the 2ndA was to redundantly forbid the federal government to exercise powers it does not possess. The 2ndA is not positive law, one cannot read it to learn the extent of the RKBA . . . As SCOTUS has said in boringly...
