Yet no gun rights advocate EVER quotes the entire amendment. Regardless, just because it's an amendment to the constitution doesn't make in immune to interpretation (unless you hold that the 2nd Amendment means it should be legal for private citizens to own working tanks, anti aircraft missiles, and tactical nukes), nor does it mean it couldn't be changed. But we can't even have reasonable discussion, because gun rights advocates won't even listen to arguments for bans against weapons designed to kill humans, 25 round clips, anti-personnel rounds, etc etc etc. So I say screw em. Ban private ownership of weapons. It works in other countries.
