See my post #145.

I believe what I see in the amendment itself, not what some politician says it says in order to get it passed.

Certainly you're smarter than that. Tell me you read the amendment rather than what some politician says about it.

You are ignoring basic principles of constitutional interpretation. That there are more than one school (originalist, literal, ...) is a fact. Not all are right.

So the whole "Right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" with no modifier mentioning WHO would be doing the infringing doesn't count? Militia's were called up by the governor of a State. In times of National emergency, the President was to call upon the Governors to call up the militia's.

So how the hell does THAT square with your perverted reasoning?

Hustle on back to DU where you belong. You are wasting webspace here.
