There's no support for that viewpoint anywhere in the text of the 2nd amendment, nor is there in Heller.

- andrewla 7y agoIn this case we are living in the alternate reality where Samuel Adams's proposal was adopted into the text of the consitution. I'm arguing that his phrasing would allow for more restrictive gun laws than the current 2nd amendment. So using his quote to defend a less restrictive gun policy seems counterproductive.
