@BluesHarp I understood that it was the right to bear arms as part of an organised militia. Clearly I know little about it, but have observed the mass shootings with horror. We lived v close to Dunblane, and that one shooting changed everything in Scotland ( & UK). As a vet I had to part with my gun for putting large animals down, and use a captive bolt instead ( or lethal injection, obviously), as the local police , who carried out the annual gun cabinet checks made it more onerous to comply each year. I never heard a single complaint from anyone who had to give up their gun, or to jump through hoops to retain their licence, and I was in a farm practice with lots of deer stalking/ grouse and pheasant shooting. We’re clearly a very different people.
