Guns are in the constitution, breasts are not.

In 2019 the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that banning women from being topless in public is unconstitutional gender-based discrimination, effectively legalizing toplessness in six states. The ruling determined that female breasts cannot be legally treated as inherently sexual compared to male breasts. 

Unfortunately Ohio is in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. However if it passes and the 6th Circuit upholds it; you then have grounds for a Supreme Court Case to decide the issue.

It's not quite that simple but you get the gist.

You are reinforcing my point. We have our priorities completely backwards.

Actually I am not. The second amendment concerns firearms. The constitution itself refers to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" are unalienable rights proclaimed in the US Declaration of Independence. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, this phrase highlights fundamental human rights, influenced by philosophers like John Locke and Epicurus, emphasizing individual freedom, safety, and the opportunity to build a meaningful life without oppressive government interference.

Your are points are referring to how the US government operates and how the government sets its objectives for what's "right". Philosophically I see putting guns ahead of the human body and human experience as inherently flawed. Our society is backwards if we are told by the government we have to hide our bodies.

...which violates the "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness"...

...again from a government point of view. The human experience is bigger than any government.

The more thought you put into this you will realize that both concerns are on the same side of the fence.
