steve, a constitutional republic protects the rights of the individual even when their ideas are very much in the minority. If I were the only person in America who believed in the 2nd amendment, I would still be within my rights to call upon it. You would all think I was insane and possibly celebrate if I was gunned down, but in the end I would be the only true American among us. God I hope that does't happen..
if you where the only one to believe it, it would just be overturned with a Amendment. But no worry, most gun laws can be made using the 2nd itself...Because unlike what some republicans seem to think...your interpretation of what it means does not mean thats what it means.. Your not the sole people to get to decide what it means. You can believe that the 2nd means you can build nuclear bombs if you want...it does not mean that it actually does.
