    The second amendment had a very different meaning before Heller. Scalia went against his entire fucking schtick of “originalism” in that case to completely ignore historical precedence because it was convenient at the time. When nobody seemed to try to stop him, or really give a shit at all, he realized he didn’t even need to pretend to be consistent.
