Then you agree that the 2nd needs no 'interpretation', as it "flat out" says the peoples right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?

-- Article VI, -- as well as both the 10th & 14th Amendments, -- make it clear that means no infringements by any level of gov't in the USA.

It does not mean those rights cannot be removed for criminal activity, mental incapacity or regulated so as to prevent unnecessary endangerment of others.

Senator Allen's introduction of a bill to make Conceal Carry licenses valid out of the state of issuance was a welcome act.

It should also be recognized that the reason given for the declaration was that a militia was necessary for a free people and that every able bodied person is a part of the militia.

There were historical circumstances which led to its adoption and these cannot be forgotten either.
