I've been busy, so this is late.
As recently as the Burger Court, the idea that the 2nd extended beyond the militia was considered highly suspect to down-right wrong. There is no chance that this will not arise again in the future, because society is awash in firearms, awaiting the trigger that starts widespread misuse and, likely death. We've already had one case of a teenager taking a military style firearm across state lines to "protect property" and killing people in the process. What happens if that becomes the response model to an election -- THIS election?

Wrong. You should familiarize yourself with history.

Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
