“Shall not be infringed! The Second Amendment is absolute!”

What You Say

Heller recognized an individual right to bear arms but explicitly allowed prohibitions on concealed carry, felon possession, and sensitive places like schools. 'Well regulated Militia' appears in the text Congress ratified. Every developed democracy with lower gun death rates regulates firearms — background checks, safe storage, and assault-weapon limits are constitutional under current precedent. Absolutism isn't originalism; it's marketing.
