"I think that in America, gun laws cannot Constitutionally be any stricter that they were in 1789, when the Bill of Rights of voted, and 1791, when it was ratified by states." Of course they are more strict. When these Amendments were written each state had militias controlled by their governors, and these rights were linked to militia membership. This which dramatically changed in 1903, when Congress became Dicks. [1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia_Act_of_1903 Since then the restrictions have only gotten tighter. Today, there are effectively no militias. [2]https://mises.org/wire/when-state-governors-tried-take-back-control- national-guard I interpret this change to mean these rights originally conferred to the states now Constitutionally belong to the nation's individuals.

Heller. I think that in America, gun laws cannot Constitutionally be any stricter that they were in 1789, when the Bill of Rights of voted, and 1791, when it was ratified by states. That's the meaning of the term "infringed", with its root-word "fringe".  I assert that this means that the RTKBA cannot be further limited, even around the "fringed". Why this wording? Well, if the wording had says, "the right to keep and bear a gun shall not be denied", some slick politician some day would decide that if 'they' banned any gun with more power than 1/4 of a 0.22 pistol, they still hadn't actually DENIED people's rights to own a gun, used singular.  Slick. I can remember about 1966, when "Texas Tower Shooter" Charles Whitman shot people.  It shocked the nation, not merely due to the violence, but because at that time it seemed to be such an astonishing act.  "What has changed", we should ask? America doesn't have that many more people (and guns) than we did in 1966.  >Later, on twitter: "heaps of replies i'd like to get to here but i have to turn off the notifications, i'm too busy denying christ, implementing white genocide, making christmas illegal, kneeling during the anthem, and reading up on the automatic gun known as the Assault Rifle 15" Would we know if that email barrage was actually just a 'false-flag' flood by people simulating some other group of people harassing somebody?  "Fake hate crimes" are extremely common, primarily because they are easy to simulate, and if the person doing that is halfway intelligent, he or she probably won't get caught.  ("Hide the noose in your pocket, walk to the door, look around to make sure nobody is looking and there are no security cameras, and then drop the noose! Try not to leave any DNA!")
