There you go. That's much more efficient than that messy old "voting" thing.
"The Second *is* an individual right, just like the rest of the Bill of Rights."
That may very well be true. But that argument is best for another day. My point was, as confirmed by you and now by Eugene Vokloh, that "the Second Amendment, whatever it may mean, operates to restrict only the power of the federal government."
Your quote is from the Time article, not from Eugene Vokloh; it appears you are trying to mislead by attributing it to him.
The quote is one author's opinion; Constitutional scholars have differing opinions on the meaning of the 2nd amendment, which was put into the constitution in case that messy old "voting" thing didn't work to restrain government.
