For the life of me, I do not understand why guns are not handled the same as homosexual marriage. Find a state with a very relaxed attitude where “anything goes” and then demand that all other states have to follow that exact model. It’s just too complex legally to have 50 different sets of laws for marriage or gun ownership.
“Shall not be infringed” is pretty clear.
In considering the definition of a "militia" within the Second Amendment, I follow that of Founding Father George Mason:
“I ask you sir, who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people.” IOW, any citizen not affiliated with the government.
While in Monticello last year, I asked Thomas Jefferson's "interpreter" if he agreed with Mason's views on the 2nd Amendment. He wholeheartedly agreed with his "good friend, George Mason".
Throughout the country, there has been a sea change in attitudes regarding personal ownership of guns. For example, up until ten days ago, my wife was adamantly opposed to having a weapon in the house. Overnight, her attitude changed, and I purchased a 9 mm last week.
I can only imagine how many other households have gone through the same conversion.
