This isn't rocket science. If the founders hadn't meant "well regulated," they wouldn't have said it, now would they? 

You're maintaining that owning a gun is a liberty to which the founders referred. How about other liberties? Child sex? Revenge killings? It's a slippery slope.

Now while we know this nation isn't Christian as such, Christians are commanded to keep all laws unless they cause sin in itself. Not being able to purchase a bazooka gun is not a sin, so we should have no problem with it. 

The government already regulates guns. Now it's just a question of how much.

Apparently the Supreme Court of the United States SOCTUS does not agree with you.  It has been affirmed time and time from SCOTUS that Americans have the Constitutional right to have guns!

 

 

Apparently you didn't read my earlier comment. I said no one (or very few) wants to take away all guns from everyone...least of all I. 

I'm sure you know that gun ownership is already controlled. There are some guns out there no one can buy (unregistered machine guns, and yes I've seen those who want to change that). It's simply a matter of how much control. Some guns were once "banned" under the Brady Bill and then made legal again. The pendulum can sway either way and now it's swaying back toward more gun control. In thirty years, what you seem to think is infringement will be the norm.

PS. The SCOTUS has been known to sway as well as pubic opinion. Think civil rights for blacks.
