Such a childish argument. I would love to see these idiots explain the "Ten Commandments" with the same argument.
Thou shall not kill
Thou shall not steal
It is very clear that the commandments are saying that "thou must not" commit these crimes, but "shall" is used in a future sense.
These criminals have no shame, having no defense, they resort to trying to change the meaning of words. I can just imagine them telling believers that the Bible does not say "Thou Must Not Kill" or "Thou Must Not Steal" so you can do it with impunity. They are sick, and those who support them are worse.

Correct. "Shall" always means must. It is definitive. If you don't mean to say "must", you use "may" to allow something but not require it. Anyone arguing otherwise is bring intentionally deceptive.
People who argue against something conclusive should not be taken seriously. If a brief containing this argument came before me, I would ignore that argument completely.

@Gwendolyn2018 The video was specific to law. In law, "shall" always means "must". I doubt you would ever find an exception, at least not in English.
@Gwendolyn2018 Not at all. In retrospect, I should have been clearer that I was referencing the legal use of the word. I love your commitment to the proper use of language. Thank you.
@Gwendolyn2018 I wish there were many more of you. Keep up the good work!
