Despite the recent cases of gun violence, I for one do not think the 2nd Amendment should be interpreted to restrict gun rights.
I personally don't see the SSM ruling as an expansion of the 14th amendment, I think it's simply applying the 14th amendment as it was written.
As for the 2nd amendment, I find it hilarious that people make claims about what they meant. Find me a single quote from any of the founding fathers that suggests that the government should restrict private gun ownership, and I'll be happy to listen.
Not calling you specifically or anything. Just throwing it out there for conversation purposes.
