roachboy, your skepticism is part of the larger debate about judicial review of a written constitution, which in turn raises the issue of why write things down at all. And that brings us back to Marbury v Madison. But that's a broader dispute and one for another day.
It's been pointed out that both of the sides in this case used some form of originalist reasoning, precisely because there is so little case law and other development of the Second Amendment that trying to figure out what the words meant to the framers is almost literally the only thing we have to go on.
