{{od}I'm glad you have decided to read the cited source (better late than never, as they say).  In addition to that pro-regulation source from the Dallas Morning News, see also this source that is not pro-regulation: Resnick, Ronald.  “Private Arms as the Palladium of Liberty: The Meaning of the Second Amendment”, University of Detroit Mercy Law Review, Vol. 77, Issue 1 (Fall 1999) at page 50, n. 154.
