>The 2nd amendment was written to guarantee your right to protect yourself from these animals.

"You need guns to protect yourself from people with guns."

Galaxy brain argument.

The 2nd Amendment was written to satisfy Framers who were afraid of a standing [federal] army and slaveholders who wanted to preserve their right to mount armed patrols to catch people escaping slavery. The standing federal army has been a fact of life for more than two centuries; slavery was abolished in 1865; so the 2nd Amendment is now useful as a fundraising tool for the NRA and the Republican party, and to make domestic violence more deadly.

Today's ultra-simplistic interpretations of the 2nd Amendment are a fraud, as former Chief Justice Warren Burger said. I honestly think Justice Clarence Thomas (author of the Bruen decision, now being cited to restore gun rights to wife-beaters) detests this country and is using his position to destroy it with its own constitution.
