“The second amendment allows a militia and people to bear arms.”

nope, not necessarily that is not the way it was understood for over 200 years of its existence.
Even according to you, why is the first clause there, did the ink just spill on the paper forming those words, and they couldn’t bother to erase them?

The example used last time (I think it may have been with Curiosity) suppose the constitution said ” A healthy breakfast being critical to start the day, the right of the people to eat cereal shall not be infringed”
would this guarantee the right to eat fruity pebbles?

” Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws, it is still known as one of the deadliest cities”
well yes, guns are easily purchased in neighboring Missouri (47th place in gun regulation and as expected 6th in gun deaths) , So on the city level it might not hold as true

Oh and FYI Illinois 8th in gun control and 31st in gun deaths so all in all a safer place to live than Missouri

“Nicely stated, when the government tried to infringe on people’s rights, like to prohibition era, organized crime increased”

fine, so make THAT argument. (which has been addressed above) but arguing that “US has a second amendment, Israel does not. End of story.” is not a reasonable argument
