If you are seriously interested in discussion, throwing around "your side" is not really conducive to that, especially when the above is the only personal statement I have posited regarding second amendment rights.

I think there are clearly two sides in the debate, those in favor of light to no regulation and those in favor of heavy regulation or total ban. Actually, I don't think that. That's a pretty undeniable reality.

I apologize if I miscategorized you. I made the contextual assumptive leap that your post had some bearing on the topic of the thread and the present debate in it. If your criticisms are only applicable to the Mississippi decision, I'm not sure why it is here. That really should be a separate thread, if you are saying your statement has nothing to do with the topic and I am wrong to think that it did.

I don't see it in such broad strokes, but I can respect your view on it.

I appreciate that–my comment was related to the aspect of interpreting the constitution, which is central to the swirling debates around these and many other issues in the US right now.

So because the 2nd Amendment is in the Constitution, and and all court rulings, that have nothing to do with guns or the 2nd, are on topic? I am wrong to have taken your words to be applicable to the subject of the thread, and also wrong to conclude that, if this deduction was wrong, that it is not about the topic of the thread? Seems strange it's both of these at the same time.
