Arms [including explosives] were 'singled out' because the King tried to infringe on our rights to keep them. We specifically enumerated that right for good effect, not wanting any level of our new gov'ts to have the power to infringe upon it; - fat chance.

Prohibitionists believe that a moral majority rules in a democracy. -- We have a Republic.
Which you seem to forget is elected to serve the people. In nonenumerated areas, I'll take the judgement of the electorate over the dictate of nine appointed judges.

Forget? - Not true. I speak out against majority rule constantly.

Me too, as long as the judgment of both electorate & officials comply with their oaths to support, protect & defend the Constitution.
