The part of the 2nd Amendment that Socialists use to muddy it's meaning is the reference to "a well regulated Militia"That was settled quite plainly at the time by Mason, who asked " Who constitutes the Militia ?"and then answered his own question, "The Militia consists of the whole of the people."
Any one who still maintains there is ambiguity in the 2A after 30+ years of this information being bandied about is either stupid or intentionally misrepresenting the case to advance a socialist agenda.
In view of the Miller decision regarding Arms not useful to the militia, the govt may retain the right to regulate things like T/C Contenders and .22's but NOT machineguns and anti tank weapons, as the latter are clearly of use to the Militia and the Declaration of Independence references to throwing off oppressive govt's clearly indicates that the purpose of any future guarantee of right to arms was not concerned with any "sporting purpose" but to assure the ability of the citizenry to resist authority, and kill politicians who overstepped the bounds placed upon them.
