Fine. You decide for yourself what the Constitution says and means. You're a little supreme court. Forget what over 200 years of what some pretty smart people have written.

The constitution was written in simple language not in some 800 page document that only a lawyer can understand. Why is it people such as yourself 1) don't believe us simple folk can read such a thing and know what it says 2)That after reading something like the 14 words in the second amendment we can still not know what it means and require an interperter.

It has nothing to do with the intelligence of anyone who reads it. It has everything to do with the fact that reasonable people can read the Constitution and come to different conclusions, especially when applying it to a fact situation.

That is why we have 200 years of disputes over the meaning of the Constitution that have been decided at the US Supreme Court level.

Every individual cannot be the final authority on the meaning of a particular clause because everyone won't agree.
