To the 2nd amendment extremists - you have the blood of children on your hands

148. No, probably Scalia or Thomas

or some other right wing 2nd Amendment fundamentalist.

It wasn't until the 1970s, when Nixon wrested control of the Court, that the 2nd Amendment fundamentalist position became THE constitutional interpretation.

Until then the Court had ruled that federal and state governments had the power to limit the "right" the bear arms. In 1939 the Court unanimously agreed that the right to bear arms "is not one which may be utilized for private purposes but only one which exists where the arms are borne in the militia or some other military organization provided for by law and intended for the protection of the state."

It wasn't until the 1970s that the right wing GOP and the ultra right wing NRA hooked up to concoct this absurdist fundamentalist view of the 2nd Amendment.

One or two changes in the Court, and your whole "constitutional" argument goes out the window.
