<i>I will admit that I have mixed feelings about the Second Amendment. As does the Supreme Court; Heller was a 5-4 decision, in which the minority disagreed with the interpretation of the text that you claim is plain and indisputable.</i><p>Wrong.  All 9 Supremes interpreted it as an individual right, they could hardly do else so given the written history of all this and the plain language of the Bill of Rights (which amendments, after all, confer a collective vs. individual right?).  What they split 5-4 on what did that really mean anything in practice, or, ultimately, could D.C. freeze its registration, and require to you keep your guns unloaded and disassembled until an intruder entered the room you were in.<p>A set of laws I&#x27;ll note were often nullified by sympathetic juries.  Since <i>Heller</i> and <i>McDonald</i>, a majority of the court clearly holds that you only have a right to keep and bear arms in your home, they&#x27;ve denied cert on all relevant appeals since <i>McDonald</i>.
