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.
Well then, I did a pi$$ poor job of it, didn't I?
That may very well be true. But how many insist that the second amendment has been incorporated and applies to the states?
