Nor is there anything in the second amendment which prevent some laws wrt firearms being legitimate

You must have an interesting defintion of "shall not be infringed".

initially it did not even apply to the states only the fedgov

We aren't discussing state bans on this thread.

Unless you believe that the Crips and Bloods have the RtKaBA and continue in their lawbreaking ways.

Please be clear: are you saying the only people who oppose infringement are gang members???

And it should be clear that the possibility of an extension would not exist unless the majority of the people supported the idea. When enough are against it it will go away.

Rights aren't up for a vote. If they were, they wouldn't be rights, they'd be priviledges.

You really had to go out of your way to misconstrue my statement like that. Obviously I was speaking of the rights of the state to disarm violent criminals such as the Crips and Bloods. Presumably you would allow them all the weaponry they wish to own.

Rights are not put up to votes but laws are. If enough people say "no laws against the RtKaBA" then the politicians will pay attention. Public education is a vital necessity in this area as in most.

Not only that but people can have rights removed(or infringed) because of their transgressions against society. But you would probably argue against that as well.
