(32,531 posts)is a long way from 'is'. In the majority opinion by Scalia in the Chicago case, he indicated that states do have an option to regulate the "bear" part but not the keep part.
Doing harm to others might include accidental discharge of a fire arm in an urban densely populated area. Just as yelling fire is not allowed if there is no fire and no one is injured. One can not take pictures of nude children and put them on the web, even though the face is not shown and the child is unaware of her or his picture being snapped. That is why we have courts, to decide how to apply the Constitution in all of those gray areas. I don't think the courts will decide that the 2nd means anyone can carry anything, anytime or anyplace. You and the NRA are welcome to pursue that course, but I don't think you'll like the outcome. Common sense is not all that common when dealing with zealots and ideologues.
