> The jurisprudence on this issue is long-settled, and who are you to disagree with a majority of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States?

It was settled for the first time with Heller in 2008, which was not long ago. That SCOTUS decision was supposedly the first to affirm that there was an individual right to carry (not as part of a militia).

Your quote from Federalist 46 doesn’t disprove what I said.

And the Heller decision was 5-4 with one of the dissenting justices claiming it was such a terrible ruling that there should be a constitutional amendment to fix it[1].

You might want to spend some more time with an open mind. You seem extremely confident, but your facts don’t back up such confidence.
