It's rather curious that the Gun Nuts find a universal right to bear arms in language that clearly doesn't intend one: "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." If the First Congress intended a universal right all they had to do was simply write "Congress shall make no law abridging the right to bear arms." Now that would be a Gun Nut's wet dream. No more having to rewrite history or force round pegs in square holes. How about "People being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Or better yet: "A unorganized rabble, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of untrained people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Any others?
