"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Now, what army reserve unit are all these gun advocates members of? Because it seems that only such people have this 'right' , not every Tom, Dick and Harry off the street who wants a gun regardless of his competence or fitness to own one. What I, a Lifetime Member of the NRA, an American Gun owner, user, & Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms Advocate is constantly amused by, is what a foreigner thinks or when they attempt to apply their 'personal opinions' about my Right to keep & bear arms.
Who actually gives a flying Royal Rat Mother's Snatch about your interpretations, personal opinions, & fantasies of what my American Constitution actual says & means?!
I can assure you, I don't.......
The American Constitution is the People's Document......the American People's Document......& we Americans care not what the World thinks of it, nor what the World thinks about any of it's contents.
I have gone as far as attempting to enlighten your lot on America's Supreme Law of the Land, but in the end, the United States Supreme Court is the sole arbiter when it comes to interpreting the Second Amendment's meaning, & regardless of what ANYONE, be they foreign or domestic, says......the United States Supreme Court's decisions & findings are absolutely final & not subject to any appeal.
That all said, I will respect your right to say what you do.....as you are entitled to your own "personal opinions"......
Now, if you wish to know what the Second Amendment means in U.S. Law, & who it applies to, I suggest you read the United States Supreme Court's decision regarding DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ET AL. v. HELLER No. 07–290... Argued March 18, 2008—Decided June 26, 2008 for starters......... https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf Also the follow-up SCOTUS Decision MCDONALD ET AL. v. CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ET AL. No. 08–1521. Argued March 2, 2010—Decided June 28, 2010 ........... https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-1521.pdf Any other "Personal Opinions", be they yours or others of your lot, are totally meaningless when defining America's Constitution regarding the Second Amendment...........period.
