I’ve seen this nonsense… rattling around for a week or so, on Truth Social and lately, on Gab[dot]com.

I’m pretty sure Steve Hayward at Whopperline has run it once or twice too.

All these people are deeply uneducated — except the Power/Whopper-line boys.

They clearly know better. Yet they persist.

So — we will do no more than answer by return graphics.

Now you know. “A well regulated…” is the very first clause. It is a limit, on all that follows. That is simple sentence construction — a skill all the founders were well-versed in applying. They meant what they wrote — verbatim, in a sentence to be read as a whole — not one trailing clause, to control all that came before it. [Ask yourself: if the reverse were true, why write that first clause at all?]

Scalia made up a fake doctrine, in Heller. Made it up, from whole cloth.

So… shut it, boyz.
