Someone gets it
In an update to this, I found this comment (#3) of note:
Here’s my problem. I don’t care about the issue at all – I’ve got no emotional commitment to either side. I’ll never own a gun, because I’m deeply suicidal. But it’s obvious to me that the gun rights nuts are right. So don’t play the game where you label both sides as emotional; that’s a copout. As for the particular text, we know what it says and what the authors believed it meant. And the gun nuts are just simply right. If you want a new compromise, amend the Constitution. Otherwise, you’ve got to go with what it says.
Update: Now, SayUncle is a bot. See comments there. I R amused. BTW, not bots here. But I think I saw this link through google news. Reminds me of a couple of things:

“…because I’m deeply suicidal.”
“If you want a new compromise, amend the Constitution. Otherwise, you’ve got to go with what it says.”
He may be crazy, but he’s not stupid!

You know, it really would be interesting to find an impartial overseas judge (most likely impossible, in the US’ case), plop him down with a copy of the Constitution, and see what he comes up with.
The hoplophobes’ lack of understanding about the response of the “gun nuts” is somewhat amusing… I guess their lack of understanding also extends to the point of missing how it is the Second Amendment that guarantees the rest…
