Considering there are only 7 articles to the constitution I assume you mean Article 1 Section 8 which defines the ability of the federal government to call forth a militia but does not itself impose any substantive limits on the militias beyond that? Is that the article you are referring to? Maybe you should re-read it. Well regulated language is conceptually distinct from congress's power defined in A1 § 8 to organize and discipline a militia once its activated. The text also imposes no federal prohibition on state or unorganized militias from setting membership or arms. If it isn't prohibited by the language of the document, it is allowed.

I know reading context isn't easy for Americans so let me, a foreigner, explain it to you.

That document was written about 10 years after the Americans launched an armed insurrection against their government so they could pay less taxes and due to a grievance about parliamentary representation. In this context when they write about a well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a "free State," they actually imply that the security guarantee is against a tyrannical state of which they had recently been at war with. They understood that the free state (for white landlords) was precarious and could change so they believed that the hedge against that was local participatory militias. To note here is a "well regulated militia" in this era implies the adoption of military rank and file and internal regulations, not governmental imposed regulations on the existence of the militia or the weaponry itself.

I know reading is very hard. I hope with practice you may someday be able to read and understand context. It takes a lot of effort to become literate. Good luck on your journey.

You need a gun to join an armed resistance, Einstein. Surrendering your guns prevents your ability from joining an organized resistance.

There is no gap differences between the managerial class of the American empire, they are in solidarity against you.

"Armed resistance never works" says the uneducated and ahistorical American with no understanding of the world outside the fascist empire they live in.

I live in New York City so it literally does not matter how I voted. Because this is a fake system and the vote here was completely predetermined. Your fucking shithole party, that threw me off of the rolls during the primaries in 2016 because of where I live and the fact that we wanted change, did nothing to change ANYTHING that in all the years you had power. You are the one who OK'd everything by voting for and stumping for liberal candidates who support a dead-end system with no alternative but fascism. YOU are the one who OK'd a genocide. It was YOUR guy that allowed, approved and did nothing to stop the mass murder people with bombs and expected everyone to swallow and follow along. You are a literal supporter of genocide. You deserve Trump, because he is the only outcome of the American system you support, "plain and simple." You genocidal ghoul who only cares about your own rights while you support people who mass murder around the world. You make me sick. Take your guilt and shove it up your ass, it is pure projection killer.

Policy you support:

Policy you support, Pic from 2022:

The republicans and democrats have the same policy. The only difference is Trump has a big mouth. Maybe, just maybe, instead of fighting people on lemmy and guilting people for not supporting genocides you actually changed the policy of the party to make the Democrats accountable and had them state with words "We would not supply Israel with billions of dollars to murder people" then you would have won. You couldn't do that. You can never do that because the policies of the parties are not different. The democrats have been in power for just as much time as the republicans or more this century and look at where that got you. You failed. This is your fault for supporting a party of losers.

You didn't have an option moron. No matter what you losers do at the ballot box you get the same results. Maybe if your shitty party stood for something and all the people who didn't vote for them actually cared enough to vote you'd have what you want. Instead you get what you fucking deserve.
