100% false.

There heart of it is "shall not be infringed" and this is an infringement.


I have no doubt they did it to enact some sort of gun control whether it was for political gain or not I can't say, but what I can say is that those who are against any form of gun control had 30 years to fight this, yet chose not to. I merely pointed out that it isn't coincidence that they chose now as opposed to any time before in the last 30 years +.


Perhaps I wasn't being completely clear. The heart of the amendment is that people have the right to own guns. This law limits which guns can be owned, but doesnt outright ban guns altogether. A compromise if you will.
