I feel that much of the nation's gun control legislation is incompatible with the Second Amendment, and should not be permitted before the Second Amendment is amended. Many gun control advocates try to reduce the Second Amendment to a creampuff by arguing that it speaks of the "right of the people" rather than the gun rights of individuals. However, such a Constitutional misinterpretation would also render meaningless the following critical protection of the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting ... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." U.S. Const. Amend. I (emphasis added).
