The answer is, it doesn't say that. So basically, we just make stuff up as we go along in this country while along the way discriminating against the mentally ill. We interpret "the constitution" the way we want to interpret it, without any logical basis and wonder why we can't agree on anything. If the laws in this country have no logical basis they become a source of argument and confusion. And let's not confuse logic with common sense. Common sense is not the same as consistent logic. How 'bout we change "mentally ill" to "black", or "hispanic", or maybe "female" and see what it sounds like????The only way to treat EVERY individual in this country equal is to either let everyone bear arms or not let everyone bear arms otherwise we are guilty of discrimination and that is not what this country stands for.

 

Second Amendment Gives Right to Bear a Musket and black powder pistol.

I know this has been said many times but it is worth repeating. The Second Amendment was written during the times of muskets and black powder , single shot pistols. Anyone trying to extrapolate the meaning of the Second Amendment with regards to any firearms besides the ones that existed at the time is pure speculation. In the same context that a black person was only counted as 3/5th's of a person in the same era, the Second Amendment does not apply to the arms of today for the simple fact that they didn't exist when the Second Amendment was written. Whether the Second Amendment was actually written to keep a well regulated militia is irrelevant when the simple fact of the gun control issue is that the guns being talked about in the Second Amendment were single shot muzzle loaders. I don't think any American would object to the right to bear those arms.
