what is your views on gun violence?

it is literally qualified by the whole "a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state" part, saying that it guarantees weapons for everyone all the time with no restrictions is like saying the sentence "when our work is finished we will all go home for the day" means everyone gets to go home right now! if you ignore the first dependent clause, the rest of the sentence loses its intended meaning. what is a militia? basically by today's standards it would be the national guard.

so the second amendment protects the right of National Guard members to have guns.

that's a stupid argument, the supreme court exists to interpret the constitution (which regardless of how long ago it was written still remains the law of the land) and they ruled that it applies to individuals

as for citizens united that's only stupid if you look at it through the liberal talk-show spin of "DURR CORPORATIONS AREN'T PEOPLE ROFL" what it actually said was that corporations are made up of people who have the same right of free speech as anyone else regardless of what groups they happen to belong to, which by any metric makes total sense
