I guess what rubs me the wrong way is the verb "shown." The Supreme Court chooses an interpretation; they don't dig up golden plates left in their backyard by the angel Moroni and reveal God's wisdom. It's a decision based on logic, precedent, morals, and yes, politics.
So ... we've interpreted the Second Amendment in a particular way for 80 years or so. That doesn't make it Holy Writ, inarguable, or the Founders' True Intent. It's a consensus. This distinction may seem minor, but to me it's important.
