I'm sorry, but the example in your comment is nonstandard usage. The part after the semicolon would typically be an independent clause, whereas the "because" marks yours as a dependent clause.
There are still comma-like uses though. The major one I can think of is as a separator in a list where each element is long, possibly containing commas of its own.
She was always far left, and that fact underpinned pretty much every older video. She has always talked about social and economic issues, and done a damn good job of it.
I'm not Christian, so I don't have a view on what interpretations are "correct." But if I might ask, how did you come to the conclusion that your interpretation is the right one?

My thought is to use separate notes for each. Then link to the parent in a dedicated field of the frontmatter (which will be nicely formatted as a link if you're on 1.4). In each location that might have sub-locations, use a dataview query to list all of its immediate children. There might even be a way with dataviewjs to list all of the people in a given region by traversing the "tree" of successive links.
the proposed legislation must not make a criminal out of anyone who's currently a law abiding individual in compliance with all laws, who does nothing differently after the law passes
Wouldn't any new law about firearm sale, ownership, or use do this by definition? If it doesn't change any legal things into illegal things, it isn't doing anything at all. What kind of law can you imagine that would pass this part of your test?
Or they don't speak English very well because they're Dutch
Some of them are, but most use other types of projection.
English spelling wasn't even remotely standardized at that time. So phonetic was pretty much all there was
