Stop telling lies
I have heard all kinds of talk that recent gun-related legislation is taking away "my constitutional, God-given right" to bear arms under the Second Amendment. If your Second Amendment constitutional right is to sell an AR-15 assault rifle with a bump stock, a 7-power scope and 10 30-round magazines filled with hollow-point bullets to a restraining-ordered, wife-assaulting convicted felon, out of the trunk of your car, then maybe your rights are being trampled. Otherwise, all of this rhetoric about Second Amendment rights is a big steaming, stinking pile of male bovine excrement.
The Second Amendment is the only one with a stated purpose. "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." A well regulated militia is today the state National Guard. You have a duty to join it, if you are able-bodied.
"[B]eing necessary to the security of a free state" means the country, not individual states, to be defended from foreign invasion. "[T]he right of the people to keep and bear arms" means you can possess a musket, sword, bayonet (optional if mounted on the musket), knife, shot and powder. "[S]hall not be infringed."
