I know this has been asked before, but if the Republican "originalists" on the SCOTUS insist

that the words in the Constitution can only mean what they meant when the framers scrawled them down on parchment, how in the world can the sacred Second Amendment authorize possession of any firearm that is not a muzzle-loading black powder single-shot weapon?

Do ya think maybe the Constitution is a "living document" only when the actual words are inconvenient?

They are losers, the majority is not on their side so they want to break it, ruin the whole experiment of democracy.

They have their minions on the SC one of which married to an insurrectionist that wanted to break it Jan 6th.

Crazy times...my great grandmother warned of the fascists.
