Try reading and participating in the "Gun Control" thread on politics before you start throwing around nonsensical statements or "facts".

No, I'm pretty much right.
Oh, and I'll post where it's appropriate. I didn't start this discussion, and I'm not going to sit quietly by and watch the "facts" get abused by you or anyone else.
"Since the Second Amendment. . . applies only to the right of the State to maintain a militia and not to the individual's right to bear arms, there can be no serious claim to any express constitutional right to possess a firearm."
U.S. v. Warin (6th Circuit, 1976)
The 1939 case U.S. v. Miller is the only modern case in which the Supreme Court has addressed this issue. A unanimous Court ruled that the Second Amendment must be interpreted as intending to guarantee the states' rights to maintain and train a militia.
