“The best way to make sense of the Second Amendment is to take away all the commas. . . .Without the distracting commas, one can focus on the grammar of the sentence.”
Ummm, moron, commas ARE part of the setence’s grammer. They’re there for a reason.
Liberals’ “interpretation” techniques amaze me. They aid words and phrases to clauses and want to omit words, phrase, and grammar from other clauses.
People were far less picky about punctuation in 1787 than they are today. I don't think anyone would have thought one comma more or less would particularly matter.
BTW, in the Constitution almost all nouns are capitalized. Should one read anything into that, or simply figure that James Madison probably liked the German convention of capitalizing nouns?
