The only two arguments about the 2nd Amendment are that it is a state right, or that it is an individual right. The 2nd Amendment isn't the most clearly written Amendment.

Honestly, I think they should allow the American people to vote on this, and if the American people decide it should be an individual right, then add another Amendment to the Consitution and get this over with. I'm sure that the majority of people would want the right to protect themselves.

Right now, with this case being in the Supreme Court, it is pretty much out of the legislators hands. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of it being a state right and not an individual right, then it will come down to the legislators.

I read a Supreme Court case about a sawed off shotgun, and based upon that case law, you would think the AR-15 and the .50 sniper rifle would be the weapons in the protected class (i.e., the ones necessary for a well maintained militia), and that there would be no way to ban them.
