There is absolutely no point in debating the past or the original text of the Second Amendment.<p>Post-Heller, post-McDonald, it&#x27;s moot. The Court&#x27;s word is Constitution.<p>If the anti-gun (really, pro-authoritarian-state) minority wants to ban firearms: they should lobby for a Constitutional amendment (which will undoubtedly fail), and then lobby for each individual state to ban arms - keeping in mind, some states have arms in their constitutional documents as well.<p>And then, once all of the appropriate legislative and political actions have been completed, this group can have police (who will need firearms to actually enforce this law, and most of whom are pro-private-firearms themselves) go door to door and round them up.<p>What could possibly go wrong?
