I don't know about this.
If you take the "militia" part literally wouldn't weapons of military service be covered?
But then I don't believe even a small percentage of gun owners want those guns or would be willing to join a militia either.
Tough call.
PS: Still not taking away anyone's right to own a gun.
For 221 years, the 2nd was not interpreted by the courts as the right to private firearm ownership, but rather the right to take up arms in the military. So what we will see happen now to the amendment will be a very interesting thing.
