So.....lemme copy and paste some exerpts...

"Sure there can be government regulations on guns, but it is to be restricted to people that actually BREAK the law.'

"The correct argument is that the Second Amendment did indeed give the right to bear arms, but allows government to regulate firearms by virtue of due process. In other words, government only has a right to regulate firearms ownership when they can prove that the individual owning guns is a threat to society or government security.'

That does not sound like absolute prohibition of government regulation. That means government can regulate the guns allowed to convicted criminals, but not to law abiding citizens. That's what I meant about due process. They actually have to PROVE that the individual is not worthy of firearm ownership.
