I hear ya. I don't get involved with this kinda stuff too much anymore either - unless someone says something just so abysmally stupid that I cannot let it pass.
It isnt like the information isnt out there, and it doesnt take a Doctorate in Constitutional law to understand either. Bottom line in my book is this: Regardless of how you wish to (mis)understand the 2nd Amendment, nowhere is the federal government granted the authority to limit private ownership of weapons. Since that authority has not been explicitly granted, it does not exist. If people disagree with that, there are processes in place to amend the Constitution to grant that authority to government. Consequently, as the power has not been granted, and my peaceful and proper use and ownership of a gun does not harm anyone, then really there is no legitimate or logical reason for said ownership to be restricted.
Why that is so hard for people to understand and accept is beyond me.
