What the amendment means and how it’s written is VERY straight foreword despite lawyers and liberal intellectuals who “try” to inject their world view by adding layers of revisionist interpretations of those words in the Constitution.
When you ask most people in the most basic terms what the second amendment means you will surely get an overwhelming result in favor of the “right to bear arms.” The goal of the gun control advocate is to legislate de facto gun control through a thousand little bureaucratic and legal paper cuts. Assault weapon bans, licensing fees, polemics with who the Constitution is referred too when speaking about a “militia,” age restriction, ammunition restriction, licensing fees, mandatory training, gun free zones and and and. They have been vastly successful.
Even though the phrase “shall not be infringed” is aimed at all those “paper cuts” they just keep on violating the letter of the amendment.
The founders knew what they were doing.
