It’s not so much the right itself, just the batshit crazy interpretation of it and our collective gun fetish culture. The nutjobs zero in on the “shall not be infringed” part completely ignoring the “well regulated” part that comes before that. *sigh*
To be fair, the “well regulated” part is talking about the militia, not guns in general. Although I’m not a 17th century lawyer so maybe I’m reading it wrong.
“Well regulated” means trained. Not governed by a central authority. Anyone that goes to a range to practice regularly would be considered “well related”.
