Baysider, I'm actually on your side but playing devils advocate. There isn't a single state that actually stops someone from owning a firearm. Some states dictate what kind of firearms you can have more than others of course theoretically because the voters in that state want it that way but owning a gun is still legal in all 50 states. So in the eyes on some people the 2nd amendment has not been infringed.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
