    Abridgements are not prohibited unless they become infringements. Since the purpose of the amendment is to preserve the right of the people to defend themselves from foreign and domestic threats or an abusive federal government and is implied to be related to the "militia", it would be an infringement to ban arms in the common use. This would extend to the magazines as well. It is merely an abridgement to regulate who is capable to keep and bear arms, and a necessary one in my opinion that should only exclude a small portion of prospective buyers for their inability to safely or lawfully use them.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
