I may not know a lot about guns, but I do know a lot more about the Constitution than you. Do you know that the 2nd amendment was originally based on a state-run militia? That would now fall to our National Guard.

Where's your source to back that up? That's not true BTW. Both by Federalist 46 and US code.

I know a lot about history. When the Constitution was formed, they were worried about states having problems with the federal government. They formed state militias. That is where the right to bear arms came from. I also had a year course in Constitutional Law in law school from a conservative professor. And your credentials?
