Gun Control is Unconstitutional

Shall not be Infringed = Not limited, Not restricted, Not Controlled.

Well Regulated = Well manned and Equipped. (not govt controlled)

Militia = All gun owners capable and willing to fighting. (not enlisted men under contract)

Arms = Ordinary Military Equipment (not crew operated)

These definitions came out of the 1939 United States vs Miller Supreme Court case.

From District of Columbia v. Heller, 2008...

(2) Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.
