"Arguably , the language of the Second Amendment is ambiguous . Thus decades of controversy about its true meaning . But in Heller , Scalia decides that the court , not the people , should clarify such text .."
"Look over the Heller ruling again . All nine judges agreed unanimously that the Second Amendment protected a right that was wholly individual in nature . The only disagreement was whether the right still applied today . And no , the individual states and cities should n't be allowed to set their own standards for a constitutional right , that flies in the face of the 14th Amendment . And worse , you 're arguing for precedent that would basically allow the various states to not respect your other rights ; they could ban the shirt you choose to wear because it 's offensive to some small , insignificant minority somewhere ."
