no problem... but yeah the far left does seem to want to throw this amendment under the bus, although I must say that the way it's written, it's open to interpretation. Personally I think it speaks more to authorizating a national militia (National Guard?) then personal gun ownership, for self defense. But it's not the way that those in power have interpreted it over the years, so I'm going with the what's been interpreted.
So going back to the question, what do you think can be done to stem illegal firearms winding up in the wrong hands.
