Just for a point of reference, here is the second amendment in it's
entirety:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Please note that this "right" is tied to the opening requirement of "a well regulated militia" and that it is the right of "the people", not an individual. This amendment also could not possibly forsee the technological developments in weaponry that would allow for guns with the devastating killing capacity of many assault weapons or even semi-automatic ones.
People are welcome to interpret this amendment as they see fit, and debate and discuss accordingly, but please don't try to tell me that there is not room for a
vast amount of interpretation of this single sentence that was written over 200 years ago.
