It's really not worth arguing about because I'm not about to turn my weapons
over cause some hippie mf'r thinks we live in la la land with bunnies hopping
around and we should all hold hands and sing songs.
Why a political party would try and take away rights from the majority to
gain a few minority votes is beyond me. It did not work then and I doubt they
ever try it again.

You're right. It is today's issues, and today's world that should frame the debate. If the framers could've foreseen the power and lethality of current weaponry, they may have written the amendment rather differently.
