> The original meaning of the Second Amendment was the federal government couldn't take away your right to own a gun There's also that "well regulated militia" bit in the text. We could require several months of membership in a firearms club and a minimum level of proficiency required to be displayed at a gun range, and it shouldn't violate any SANE interpretation of the Second Amendment, while keeping random 18-20 year olds from being able to buy an AR15 on a psychotic whim. We also routinely required guns to be surrendered inside of cities back in the 1800s because we understood that there was a difference between being armed on your private property and being armed while getting smashed in a bar.
