    The 2nd amendment says nothing about guns/firearms. It was written as arms. It specifically talks about a militia and being able to keep things. It also says that we have the right to obtain the arms of bears (bear arms). There is literally no precedent to allow anyone have a gun.

    It’s pretty explicit in what they wanted.

    This is why trying to argue based on literal words, and not intent, is dumb.
