ton V. Sills (1968) and Lewis v. Uriited States (1980), the Court reaffirmed that the Second Amendment does not protect the private ownership of guns.
Despite this long-standing and unambiguous explanation by the final arbiter of Constitutional interpretation, the NRA persists in pressing its erroneous position and continues convincing uncritical listeners that its reading of the Constitution is the right reading. The Rifle Association and its disciples are of course free to argue against gun control laws by offering up policy arguments favoring She unresticted marketing of weapons like the infamous AK-47. To assert that such laws are barred by the Constitution, however, is specious and unprincipled. In the words of Erwin N.
