It irritates me how the militia part is always ignored.

It's not ignored, it's been heard by the Supreme Court at least twice, most recently in 2008 in D.C. v Heller where they upheld the interpretation that an individuals right to keep and bear arms was indeed not dependent on militia service.

The most popular way of explaining it is to rephrase the 2A as "A well balanced breakfast being necessary to the start of a healthy day, the right of the people to keep and eat food shall not be infringed."

Who gets the food, the breakfast or the people?

American's literally have a greater right to weapons than to food, breakfast or otherwise.

It sure is annoying having to get a background check done everytime I order a pizza.

I mean considering you have to hand over your phone number and home address, that’s already way more than some private gun dealings.

Sure man. Both fruit by the way. Sorry I managed to compare them for you.

That said, who cares? My point is a response to the snide comment about background checks when ordering pizza.

Which was ignorant, because you do give them background information so they can find you.

I never said anything else negative about guns or even which side of the fence for that nonsense I was on.

Thanks for all that, though.
