The bill would block the National Guard, State Patrol, or county sheriffs from enforcing any new restrictions on gun rights (restriction being defined as any law a wingnut doesn’t like).

A well-regulated militia is what, again?// Funny, but regulated is the first part of the second amendment. Second part basically says, “Everybody can have guns.” Actually, for how goddamned smart these founding fathers were, that sentence is written like shit.

And I am sick to death of worshiping the founding fucking fathers as infallible clairvoyants, because they weren’t, and there is no way they could be. Upon closer inspection, many were as failed and fallible and human as any other mortal.

The founding fathers could not see the future. They had no idea what a bunch of tactical gunhumpers the country would host. They’d probably never heard of a school shooting or a random mass shooting, and assumed any attempt to storm the nation’s capitol would be met with deadly force (it wasn’t). They were still hard from giving the British the finger. Slavery and indigenous peoples? Women’s rights? Ha, as if. Infallible? Hardly.

So here we are, and everybody gets their guns, including crazy people, and they aren’t part of a well-regulated anything. And yet, we’re supposed preserve the sanctity of often outdated texts the same way idiots cherry-pick the Old Testament.
