What is this statement saying?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Yes, Dule, a plain reading of the Second Amendment does have it mean what the libertarian right says it means. You have to obsess over the first comma to get it to mean something else.

A better question is whether the Constitution should be amended again to reflect the emerging consensus (among the general public, not among politicians and political junkies) in favor of stricter gun laws, but, understandably, nobody wants to have that conversation because going back and amending the Bill of Rights would set such a toxic precedent.
