PS - like it or not, the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right, which has been affirmed by both multiple SCOTUS cases, and 200+ years of precedent. Don't like it? Propose a constitutional amendment, get it passed by a supermajority of both the house and senate, and then get 38 states to ratify the amendment with a popular vote. Or, alternatively, get 2/3 of all state legislatures to pass the same constitutional amendment.
If you can't do that, well, quit fucking with constitutional rights.
We managed to pass the 14th, we even got--and repealed--prohibition. So fuckin' get on it if you really, truly believe that having too many rights is the problem.
