I suspect you know the language as I presented it many times. We simply see it differently. And that is fine.

I believe that a government of limited powers was limited to powers specifically delegated to it. I also believe the Cruikshank court that noted that federal powers and state powers were distinct and not overlapping. Thus I find Federal gun control to be illegitimate since the congress was never given that power and since the states have the power under the 10th A to regulate firearms to some extent
 
Because some idiots can't comprehend the meaning of "A well regulated militia...," I would change the words to "A well armed populace...."
