yeah, you walk naked into any frozen area and see if you live linger then any animal the, or desert.
Live like a polar bear, or seal, or dog, or cat. You would die.
We couldn't live anywhere without clothing.

The hip 'design' is horrid, as is the lower back. The eyeball is backwards, and so on.

"A person can buy a Maserati,"
Yes, no imagine you take a look at that car, and the trans mission gearing is backward, and the wiring for the lights goes all over the place before getting to the lights, .
Anyway, comparing human bodies to actual intelligently design things is stupid.

You have to perform OS updates in some industries. You might disable automatic updates, but that doesn't prevent damage, just that you'll be kicking it off manually.

(Did you know that a convicted felon is not required to register his guns since that would violate his 5th amendment right to not self-incriminate? Look it up!)
Did you know a convict felon isn't allowed to own guns?

Your point in bringing up Haynes was... what?

where are yo getting 'and'?which version?

As passed by the Congress and preserved in the National Archives:[29]
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, then-Secretary of State:[30]
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

It's kind of funny, if you read all the proposed wording, it becomes clear the word militia meant military, and not everyone being armed.
Ex:
"A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, being the best security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; but no one religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person."

You can' control you anger, so everyone else has to leave? no. If you cant control yourself, you leave.

"Something as basic as the 2nd Amendment is ABSOLUTELY NOT above our heads."
It's poorly written. IT was slapped together becasue people couldn't come to a solution to how to fund a military, and it shows.

If it was well written and easily understood we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Besides that, they constitution is designed to be changed with time.

That doesn't even get into the issue that the verbiage passed by congress is different then the verbiage that was ratified by the states.

You sir, are the doofus. Educate yourself.

Yo should look a little deeper.
A) Guns are seriously regulated, including need to account for every round. Good luck getting the level of regulation about firearm in the US.

B) Crime is related to education. the better educated the general populace, the less violent crime there is. This has noting to do with firearms at all. We see this in countries regardless of gun laws. Do you argue that all education including college is free? Or are you just picking some headline stat and using that without actual any understanding?

"Even Hitler decided not to try it."
completely unnecessary to the conversation.
