>All of this stuf is, essentially, completely made up. The fact that we have civil asset forfeiture (ie legalized theft) should tell you everything. It quite literally says "unreasonable search and seizures". How is this not a 4th Amendment violation?
As long as we're willing to pretend the 2nd Amendment doesn't read exactly as it does, what hope do you think there is for the 4th?
On both sides of the issues, the "well regulated militia" part is completely ignored, and a ban on various weapons ranging from missiles to ballistic knives can be considered an infringement of the right to keep and bear arms.
The entire Bill of Rights is far more vague then people make it out to be. Hell, the Ninth Amendment is basically "people also have other unmentioned rights the government can't deny."
The debate is generally over whether the part of the sentence before the comma is supposed to mean anything or whether you’re supposed to ignore it and only read the part after the comma.
