Bad Timing: 2022 NRA Convention - Full Frontal with Samantha Bee



Amy Hoggart travels to Houston to talk to attendees of one of the most poorly timed events in history - the annual NRA convention - taking place 300 miles away and only four days after a mass school shooting in Uvalde.

And here you go, you stupid gun nubs:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
To which I would add, thanks to Justice John Paul Stevens idea, "when serving in the Militia" directly after Arms, as he says for clarity.
Well regulated.
Militia. Which means state's National Guards.

arms can be defined in various ways. Any restriction on any type of arms can be "infringed" like rocket launchers and fully automatic machine guns, or even bombs and chemicals.

They never want to talk about "a well regulated militia" because the US didn't have a standing army when the 2A was written. Part time state militias were the only armed forces until the Coast Guard and other full time armed services were established. So I would think of our National Guard and Reserves as the militia today, not untrained undisciplined idiots.
