That's just the current reading of the 2nd though. The court, as Dobbs clearly shows, can easily reverse precedent. What's interesting is that the conservative side of the SCOTUS is currently so wedded to originalism and "historical practice," which puts them in a bit of a bind since the 2nd as an absolute right to bear arms in self-defense is purely a 20th century doctrine with little or no real antecedents in the 18th and 19th centuries. I expect they'll find a way around it regardless, thus further lowering their legitimacy in the eyes of the American people.

There's no such thing as an adolescent silverback. A silverback is a fully mature dominant male. They don't gain the silver coloration until they are mature, so the entire premise is a contradiction in terms.
It's older than that.
Several things can be true at once. We don't have to be all-in on one side or the other of the Snowden affair. I've never understood why people seem so eager to pick a team on this issue.
WTF are you talking about? I see zero evidence that this is what OP is doing. It can't be the case that every time someone asks a question that you don't like, they must be doing so in bad faith. That's a fallacy.
Oh, look at John fucking Von Neumann over here!
Either a square knot or a "granny" knot will work. A lot of people don't know the difference, but it's actually a pretty important distinction in different types of rigging because a square knot is so much stronger and more secure.
It's how the other great apes do it too, which as far as I'm concerned is pretty much the end of the issue. It really is one of those things where there's a right and wrong way to do it.
Double Nickels on the Dime, Minutemen. Also probably the best power trio record ever made. Granted, they only made one more record before D Boon died, but as legendary as he is, Mike Watt has still never done anything as good since.
It's painfully un-self-aware.
The current interpretation of the 2nd only dates back to the 20th century. It was not interpreted at all the same way in the 18th and 19 centuries and in fact, in contrast to today, was scarcely even thought about. It just wasn't really an issue in anything like the way it is now and it was entirely uncontroversial that municipalities could outlaw the carrying of firearms within city limits. It was actually pretty common in frontier towns especially.
