Sorry, but it's in writing; "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" It doesn't matter the intent of those persons owning firearms. The laws says that right "shall not be infringed." I won't print out the definition of "infringed" because everyone here should understand that.
By the way, according to the CDC, an average (reported) of a million citizens are saved by guns every year. That is a conservative number, which means that there are probably a lot more than reported.
Want to protect children or just announce a fear of guns? Protect children by hardening physical security at the schools. A tall fence with a gate and gate guard will deter 99.9% of school mass murders. Making schools soft targets makes it easy for lazy criminals to exploit. That's what happens in theaters also. That bad guy hates the idea of having to worry about being stopped when he has an agenda.

For almost 200 years constitutional experts disagreed with your interpretation of that comma. But what do I know. I don't have a degree is olde English or constitutional law.
And does that comma justify all the children that die every year?
