"Lawyers for Heller disagree. They characterize the amendment's first clause as a preamble to the rights-securing language in the second clause. "The preamble cannot contradict or render meaningless the operative text," writes Heller's lawyer, Alan Gura, in his brief to the court."
At least somebody gets it. This is why all lawyers need to have English degrees... if you cannot properly understand the context of the English language, you have no business using it to dictate the actions of other people who know better.
I'm a lawyer. I don't have an English degree. Yet, somehow, I understand exactly what it means. Those who don't "understand" actually do understand. They just have a political agenda which mandates that they ignore the plain meaning.
