Yeh, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand and so open to "interpretation....Wouldn't the resources be better utilized going after Jihadies who want to kill us all?

Nobody here has raised what is to me, these days, among the most difficult of questions in this context: what if these same firearms, owned and stored in the same way and in the same place, were owned by a group of Americans...all of whom were muslims? How many here would react differently, with no other or different facts? Are we sufficiently secure in our convictions concerning the 2nd Amendment that we would defend that group's right to own them as we would our own? I must admit I have trouble with this one.

Logically American Muslims have as much of a right to self-defense as the rest of us. I would of course be very uncomfortable with a militia of Muslims buying AK's then talking about Allah and vindication, but then I would rest assured that I am well prepared to take out anybody who oversteps their natural rights and infringes on mine.
