I'll ask again: Is your constitution structured to stop liberty protection (as that is what I'm referring to)? You haven't given a yah or nah. I've translated your bit answer and have assumed you're going with an affirmative.

Whilst I love this idea of American specific liberty, I've been a jolly chap and investigated what the experts say. Take, for example, Winkler (2007, Scrutinising the 2nd Amendment, Michigan Law Review, Vol 105 Issue 4, pp 683-733). This argues that "the Second Amendment's individual rights to bear arms is appropriately ruled by a deferential, reasonableness analysis under which nearly all gun control regulations would survive judicial scrutiny". Them pesky lawyers!
