Tortured interpretations of the Second amendment cannot change the fact that both the letter of the amendment itself and the legislative history conclusively show that the Founders intended ordinary citizens to be armed. The notion that the Second amendment confers rights only upon organized state-run militias is preposterous; the amendment is meaningless unless it protects the gun rights of individuals. Georgetown University professor Robert Levy recently offered this simple explanation:
“Suppose the Second amendment said ‘A well-educated electorate being necessary for self-governance in a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed.’ Is there anyone who would suggest that means only registered voters have a right to read?”
And I might add would this mean that that "high powered books" with dangerous intellectual ideas which might stir the people up should be banned?
And you’ve turned the constitution into a death pact since apparently the 2nd amendment allows high powered weaponry - like shoulder-mounted AA missiles to be owned by questionable Muslims. Because stopping them from loitering around the runway at Laguardia would be prior restraint.
