Jacob, I know you're not finished with this yet, but let me ask the question I like to ask whenever a discussion of the second amendment comes up. Now I definitely feel very strongly that gun control is a bad idea. And having read the second amendment I naturally assumed that all gun control is unconstitutional. However, when it comes to the interpretation of the constitution, I think one ought to interpret according to the original intent of the framers; and having looked into the issue, I don't think that anybody would argue that the framers intended the second amendment, or any other part of the bill of rights to restrict state governments. That said, my question is as follows: do you believe the second amendment should be applied to restrict state governments as well as the federal government? --Ben Talk 21:19, 22 November 2009 (EST)
