That’s not how a constitution works.

They wrote needing a well armed militia because back then yeah they needed one. We don't today and such a thing doesn't exist. I'm not saying to do away with the 2nd amendment or anything, but people just need to take the vast time and changes that have occurred to our society into account when talking about it.
The 2A exists to overthrow a tyrannical govt.
Tyranny is the same as it was when it was written.

It was not intended to affirmatively "allow" the States to restrict gun rights. It was written and intended SOLELY to preclude the federal government from sticking its nose and hands into the issue. States were free to restrict, regulate or (yes) promote gun rights ... as they saw fit. Did the Drafters of the Amendment anticipate that States would be LIKELY to restrict/regulate? Who knows. It wasn't what they were addressing.quote:
States can’t trump the constitution and restrict God given rights

I don't care if we are on a different planet. The Constitution says what it says, and it does not unilaterally change over time. For it to change, you must amend it.
