What part of "Shall not be infringed" don't you understand?
Charlton Heston is my President.
The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If Thomas Jefferson had believed in "common sense" gun laws we'd all still be wearing powdered wigs.
A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.
These phrases: "right of the people peaceably to assemble," "right of the people to be secure in their homes," "enumerations herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people," and "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people" all refer to individuals, but "the right of the people to keep and bear arm" refers to the state.
The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1787, refers to the National Guard, which was created 130 years later, in 1917.
