People are getting their freedom to wage unlimited war on the government limited.

or more generally, they are getting the fundamental right to self defense restricted.

but people like you wont let pesky little things like constitutionally enummurated rights, get in your way of control.

Everyone skips the "well regulated militia" part of that. Setting aside the fact that the 2nd amendment itself is a relic from an older time, the gun-fellaters of the modern day have clearly perverted the amendment into something it was never meant to be in the first place.

Times change, old values die.


"In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."

 

I guess the only interpretation that matters is your interpretation. I guess that if you don't agree with the majority's (also the Supreme Court's) interpretation of the right to keep and bear arms then it makes sense to oppose it.

Also the only values that seem to be dying are ones like:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"

I guess the only liberties that matter are the ones that you deep appropriate. Sorry but I am glad that you will never hold any significant amount of power.
