The second amendment a statement of support for previous English law, which was to allow men to participate in basic infantry combat. To go into what exactly it entails, you would need to look at the English tradition before that time.

lets just go by what it says and not worry about other stuff, previous english law has nothing to do with my gun rights, tho the 2nd amendment does

Once again the 2nd amendment doesn't say any right is established. It says a right shall not be infringed. Thus it is talking about an existing right, which at the time and place can only mean a right in English Common Law. You can find this explained by Antonin Scalia and others. BTW, your post indicates that you are posting in the wrong sub. If you are as stupid as you seem, might some other hobby than posting on forums not be a better use of your time? Arts and crafts, collecting pokemon cards - something you're passionate about?

does the 2nd amendment mention english common law, if not it has nothing to do with it. Only what is in the text.

find something else to do besides trolling as cornfed or waldo

It doesn't need to mention English Common Law because that was the system in place. A non-retard would know that. On another topic, presumably you have taken your vax and booster, but now they are saying up to six jabs may be required, and it can't hurt to try the jabs of different companies. The more the better.
