   Hello Kostie,

   I am being serious. The 2nd Amendment is poorly written,   
   and also totally understood. Furthermore, after about 1980   
   the courts misinterpreted it to something else entirely.   
      
   The amendment is not about the right to bear arms, but "a   
   well regulated militia" having "the right of the people to   
   bear arms". Kind of like those in the militia having the   
   right to bear arms, as part of that militia. The state   
   controls the militia. Individuals who are part of the   
   militia have the right to bear arms while those outside   
   of the militia do not have the same right.   
      
   That is how the courts viewed it, up until about 1980.   
   Then the courts turned to extreme right-wing interpretations.   
   Which is why there is so much out of control crime these   
   days.
