I just can't wrap my head around this

...the preamble of the Constitution over rides that bull shit 2nd amendment......................I and millions of others have right to the pursuit of happiness, and living in the world that the 2nd amendment negates that principle you can go FUCK yourself and just fucking TWIRL.


This is apparently about there being a conflict between the Declaration and 2A. Can anyone figure where someone might see a conflict? I'm missing it.

...is in the Declaration. I can't figure how these 2 ideas conflict and the poster seems unaware of my question or unwilling to answer.
Go figure.
