Not much chance of that. We can interpret it differently though. Abridged in the First Amendment means "to lessen, to restrict or curtail". Infringe currently means "encroach", but in 1789 it meant "to break or violate". So you can curtail something a lot without breaking or violating it. We use originalism against itself. ;P - Lapsody

As Dope occasionally points out, as long as you are allowed to keep one black powder squirrel rifle, the gun activists can claim your second amendment rights are not being violated. <g>
