Do All These Idiots Actually Believe Their Claims?

David Richardson says: Amazingly, this bimbo actually believes this!

I’m not so sure.  I’ve always been suspicious of the ludicrous claims people make.  Does Trump believe he won the 2020 presidential election?  Does Alex Jones believe the bereaved Sandy Hook Elementary School families are paid actors?

At another level, does any intelligent person honestly believe in “originalism?”  This is the principle that asserts that the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted in the way it was understood in 1789?

Sure, there are people who profess to believe that all gun laws are unconstitutional, but are they sincere?  Do they honestly believe that Thomas Jefferson would have allowed insane people to walk through grocery stores with AR-15s in a day when these war weapons are being used to shoot thousands of our little children to death?

Of course not.  These people are simply disingenuous. They cherry-pick specific lines from the Constitution that support their demented (usually profit-driven) positions.
