The amendment only codifies (vaguely) what was already an existing "right" set in earlier common law and, apparently, the English Bill of Rights of 1689 (says Google). There's nothing preventing a common-sense judiciary from interpreting reasonable limits on the right to bear arms, despite this amendment you hate so much. Unfortunately there IS something preventing them from being *asked* to make an interpretation -- primarily Republican politicians and their voters/donors.
