TIS, both you and Kly are correct. I am appalled by the profound ignorance that so many Americans have about their Nation's Constitution. However, that does not preclude them from commenting on it as if they are intimately familar with its origins, content, original intent, and interpretation. Despite the wealth of information that I've accumulated about it, I still hestitate to represent that I know very much about it.

Some of the posts above do touch on elements of the 2nd amendment's original intent, but that's only some.
