As a former sheriff's deputy, I can't say that I am impressed with how most gun nuts choose to interpret the 2nd Amendment, but they seem to be less a problem than nuts with guns.
Meanwhile nuts with guns often enough wear a badge, have grand arsenals at their disposal and are members of the largest armed gang in the United States second only to the United States Military.
We can certainly have a discussion about the right to bear arms. However, even your link provides the evidence, there is no debate. We the people have the right to own guns so as to insure domestic tranquility and defend this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic. And goodness knows there are enough citizens buried due to death by out of control armed gun nut cops, to demonstrate exactly what defines that imperative.
