| There are ample examples of subsequent legistlation contrary to the isolated phrase quoted above from the 2nd amendment "the Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." ... and rightfully so. For instance, we 'infringe' on the rights of minors who are citizens ... and 'citizens' with a criminal history ... and to extend this 'infringment' to include people who, through prior acts even not necessarily involving firearms, are deemed to be too dangerous to be entrusted with the legal right to buy and use a firearm, is appropriate and should be within the states' right to administer any such regulation (or 'infringment'). |
