What part of “shall not be infringed” do you find difficult to understand?

I have plenty of concern for the 2nd Amendment...
“What part of “shall not be infringed” do you find difficult to understand?”
Like other Constitutional rights, the right to “keep and bear arms” is not unconditional. One example is that the right to free speech doesn’t allow someone to yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater. It’s simply a matter of deciding where to draw the line, doing the most good and the least harm. Or is it that you support private citizens owning mortars, howitzers, rocket launchers, warplanes and nuclear weapons...?
Since the primary utility of automatic weapons is mowing down a crowd or forcing adversaries to keep their head down (see my earlier post), I don’t see a need for them to be readily available. If things transition to a civil war, folks with currently legal weapons will be able to relatively easily acquire anything the other side is using.
Personally, I’d rather not see Larry Brin (or whoever happens to be your least favorite leftist) with his own personal missile silos...
