Someone was arguing with me that the Second Amendment doesn’t protect your right to carry a gun while committing a crime.
That’s a weird misunderstanding, but let’s think about that.
You have a right to carry a bag of cookies. You still have a right to carry that bag of cookies while you rob a bank. The cookies are not the issue. The issue is that you have no right to rob a bank, with or without cookies. Nor to violate any individual’s rights in any way. The bag of cookies is completely irrelevant in every way.
Whether you might use the cookies to help you commit the crime or not. It’s the robbery that’s the problem, not the bag of cookies.
Now, if someone imagines that guns are different than cookies in this scenario, the problem is within them.
