It doesn’t “happen” to be it was specifically constructed to be one by radical revisionist lawyers in the early 20th century whose tortured arguments were enshrined in legal precedent by Antonin Scalia.

You ever see an old western movie where they have to hang up their guns in town? The typical 19th century western American settler town had more gun control than Philadelphia does today.

THIS!!! One time last year they didn't come for our recycling for over a week. My girlfriend called 311 probably 20 times as the recycling built up. What was a reasonable amount for our bin (& those of our neighbors) inevitably began to overflow within a few days as people made good faith efforts to deal with their recycling, then the wind picked it up and distributed it nicely all over the street.
