I honestly don't see it. Statistically or otherwise. Even if it were. It's a protected unalienable right. Cannot under any circumstances be circumvented. In my opinion of course.

Until the next amendment to it, be that in a couple of years or centuries

Tangentially - I find it fascinating how the originalists on the supreme court get fuzzy on what a "well regulated militia" meant at the time the amendment was written.

This has been explained ad nauseum, but here goes.

Well-regulated meant, at the time, in good working order. The militia meant, and still means, able-bodied men from 18 to 45. The right was granted to the people, not the militia.

Please make snide comments in good faith, at least.

The experience of the black panthers had shown us that if many of us attempted to live by that interpretation the goal posts would just be moved by those in power.

Thankfully, many of the infringements upon rights committed during that period are being undone.

If you can cite what the preceding words before that phrase (the same phrase that does not mean what you think it means, mind yourself) says, which I think is far more abundantly clear than anything else in the constitution, maybe I'll entertain your fascination.

This argument is so tired: the meaning of this prefatory clause is not intended to be a limitation as some would hope.

Nobody is "fuzzy" - the left-most SCOTUS Justices don't make this argument, see Caetano v. Massachusetts.
