I understand WHY folks might be inclined to favor such a restriction, but it is against the plain language of our Constitution.
(Bolding mine)
The "plain language" of the amendment itself begins with, A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state... How do you personally reconcile that bit with the bit you quoted?
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.
"The trophy problem has become extreme."
"The trophy problem has become extreme."
Just to be clear...

about 90% of the country agrees with that but still Obama can't close the deal.
