We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Nah, the militia bit was always a separate dependent clause (in the English grammar sense). It's reasoning.
The right shall not be infringed is an independent clause. It stands on it's own. I know almost no one remembers elementary school, but independent vs dependent clauses are taught there. Anyone remember diagramming sentences?
That’s why I’ve always found this a nuanced discussion.
I’ve always interpreted as the people have the right to keep military style weapons to form a militia. That’s based on the miller case.
The 2nd amendment was never about hunting.
