the amendment says 'shall not be infringed'. to me, that means that the gun control laws making machine gun ownership illegal post 86 SHOULD be unconsititutional. I consider that it's because of the liberal courts at that time that made those laws stand up when a less liberal court would not have upheld them. Tanks are not 'firearms'. Nor are nuclear weapons and MOABs, nor are ICBMs.
