That was found unconstitutional, too.

Originalism strikes again!

By using the Bruen ruling, the judge can ignore that very real safety issues of drug users getting guns, and just say "Well, drug tests weren't historically required for getting a gun. And today is the same as the era of the Thirteen Colonies, so, they should still have fun! I mean, guns!"

Originalism as a legal doctrine is incredibly stupid. It basically boils down to 'We can have everything nice they had in early American history and no more! Don't like them apples? Probably shouldn't have been born in...modern America, where embryos are children, which wasn't true in early American history!"

Yeah...I'm curious as to how this is going to go. It'll be interesting, that's for sure.

Am I totally misunderstanding what is being said here?

You are not.

So, I know where you're coming from because I've read stuff by Edmund Burke and other conservatives. But, unless the conservative you're talking with is the intellectual type, they probably haven't. They've probably just internalized some version of social conservatism but would also be appalled that you'd accuse them of supporting social stratification even as they support it.

I learned some time ago that this particular argumentative strategy is incredibly pointless. They don't care that you know the historical and philosophical foundation of their beliefs. For them, that foundation isn't there for them. They probably don't know it! Their life experiences inform them more than anything else.

Noncitizens aren’t totally barred from voting in San Francisco. In 2016, after multiple attempts in previous years to pass a similar measure, voters approved Proposition N, which allowed San Francisco noncitizens to vote in school board elections if they had a child who went to school in the district.

What's wrong with voting in school board elections?

This isn't merely disagreeing with someone. Telling someone to "shove this gun grabber shit" up their ass is just disrespectful.

If they don't clarify, don't put words in their mouth.

Next time just don't respond.

PrincessEli: Warning for violation of rule #1 and #3.

Don't automatically assume something is beyond someone's mental capability, and provide reasons for your disagreement.

(I'm gonna have to start putting names in my warning so I know how I've warned previously...)

Warning for violation of #1.

We're still going to insist on treating people not like they're mindless idiots, but rather as having experiences that lead them to believe what they do.
