Granted. But it is a very broad ammendment in the constitution, and I don't have a problem with laws passed by the congress that impose some restrictions on the ability to possess "arms."
Also, I think since arms is a very vague term it must be defined. Since the constitution doesn't really specify who is to define terms in the constitution, I guess I will just have to side with the Marshall court on that particular subject and rely on the judicial branch.
