Let me throw in the religion of climate change. Since our founding fathers did not have that either, it ain't protected under the First Amendment. But we will let the wokesters cling to it nevertheless.
this is a wonderful piece! to expand on a point that Ann is making...
I think that if they manage to take away our 2a, or more severely curtail it, based on the idea that the founding fathers only meant muskets then we need to say they didn't mean freedom of speech on tv or the interent. then the next time we get a rightwinger into the white house, we arrest all the so-called "journalists" and throw them in prison!
Your Cliff’s Notes Version like the six right wing majority justices ignore completely the first half of the Second Amendment. See my earlier comment on fraud in judging by Right wing S. Ct.
I have some military background, and though I have never owned a gun, I am contemplating purchasing a quality center fire rifle to protect myself, my family and neighbors from Trumper and other Republican nutcases who think AR-15s are toys which can be used to enable mass killings by them. This gun violence has to stop, and if you and the Supreme Court want to promote UNREGULATED GUN PURCHASES AND USE, then perhaps us sane, law-abiding citizens need to arm ourselves to prevent some mass killings by the gun nuts.
I have cousins who live in Highland Park. My cousin’s wife, Nancy, was about to start her march in the 4th of July parade when the Trumper shooter, enabled by his sponsoring Trumper daddy signed the application allowing this mass murderer to purchase and use an AR-15 automatic rifle to kill seven people including two parents of a two year old baby. These Trumper mass murderers have been enabled by you and the six right wing Justices. They have deliberately distorted the words of the Constitution to promote use of guns and inhibit necessary government regulation. These Justices have blood on their hands.
Ann, like Justice Thomas, you and the far right Supreme Court six person majority, ignore the first half of the Second Amendment. The first half refers to the need for a well regulated militia and then says in order to have that well regulated militia, people have a right to bear arms. The Second Amendment is about filling well regulated militias with citizens holding arms. But starting with the Justice Scalia distortion in the DC gun case and continuing with Thomas in the New York Rifle case, that first half of the Second Amendment is ignored by you and them. These are Justices who claim to be originalists adhering to and interpreting the entire text of the Second Amendment then ignore half of the text. These Second Amendment right wing decisions should be nullified and overruled as soon as we seat the 4 new Justices to increase the Supreme Court to 13 Justices. They will then overrule the DC gun case and the NY Rifle case due to the opinions which did not discuss the entire Second Amendment. The originalists and textualists now on the Court are frauds when they intentionally fail to discuss the Entire Second Amendment. As they overruled Roe, the new Court will overrule these distortions of the Constitution.
Ann, where is your response to interpretation of the entire Second Amendment and not just the second half?
As soon as we increase Democratic seats in rhe Senate and House, we will abolish the filibuster as undemocratic and then adopt the 13 Justices Act. Biden will nominate good progressive and liberal Justices and they will overrule all the recent terrible decisions by the far right wing Supreme Court.
Of course most militias have not been disbanded though Ron DeSantis wants to form a new Florida militia. Well regulated militias by people in authority with arms brought by citizens are what the Second Amendment talks about. You cannot separate the last half and ignore the first half as did Scalia and Thomas did. But you cannot chop off the first half of the Second Amendment and claim it gives an unregulated individual right to bear anyone for anyone and everyone including the Trumper mass murderer in Highland Park. (There are photos on Twitter of Crimo wrapped in a large Trump flag.)

Thank you for sharing your perspective Ann.
I love it when Ann gut punches the Libs with the bottom line.

after all, they do nothing by LIE anyway.
Heh, Ann. I cannot wait to see your interpretation of the WHOLE Second Amendment, including the first half which was ignored by Scalia and Thomas.

Biden's been flirting with nuclear war for months, but liberals think a kid with a rifle is a threat.
So happy Ann is on Substack. So much more content from my favorite thinker.
If Ann had gotten the View gig, she could have read these Substack posts on air. I would have gotten cable after a 5 year hiatus to record that.
I think the Ann Coulter Rule maybe in effect. "Two men in Richmond were planning a mass shooting July 4th.
"Two men"

I've got an idea for a newsletter: It'll be entitled 'You're All Wrong'. It'll have a comment section, and all of the comments will be mine.
