You can bear arms, but not keep them.

Although I have little faith in the Supreme Court, this stuff needs to get there.

I do understand that interpretation change, but as far as the First Amendment goes, the original language was clear — CONGRESS shall make no law. That, of course, expanded in the 19th century and the understanding is that GOVERNMENT shall make no law censoring the people. Fine.

The Second Amendment is far less ambiguous — SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. By anyone.

There is a whole lot of infringement going on, and if the Constitution means anything at all (I don’t think it does), then the Courts should step in. And if they don’t, well, I guess we know where we stand as far as “rule of law” goes.
