Dick revealed in words what I believe anti-gunners are saying all along. On the one hand, the 2nd Amendment doesn't really say what it means and mean what is says. On the other hand, we anti-gunners really despise the 2nd Amendment.
What's more, why should we rely on what "legal scholars" have to say about this or that issue? If I were governor of a state, I probably would have thousands of infantrymen sent to my state to remove me from office and install a more compliant governor, because I would declare ALL unconstituional laws NULL AND VOID in my state.
