Isn't that accurate though, that the 2nd amendment is not absolute? Aren't there classes of guns or specific guns that aren't legal? If the 2nd Amendment was absolute, wouldn't that be unconstitutional?
It seems surprising that 2nd Amendment advocates are OK with the limitations that are in place currently for what firearms they can have, but think there can't be any further limitations.
I've said that I'm for putting in place certain red flag limitations for people with mental issues and those that have committed crimes. I've also said that gun bans and laws like we've seen in Chicago and New York have proven not to work. What are your thoughts on how to fix things?
