I am an originalist on the 2nd.

If a state has a well regulated militia, necessary to defend said state, then the government can not infringe on the right to own arms. The problem is I believe only 23 states have militias, thus the rest can restrict gun ownership. Of the 23, none of them actually levy citizens into the militia for training. Thus they do not have a real militia, ergo those states can restrict gun ownership.

Its what the Founders envisioned. The current conservative ideology, which is a modern bastardized concoction steeped in modern conservative paranoia and further "codified" by Heller, has nothing to do with the original document.
