  2. How has the Supreme Court interpreted that language in recent decisions?The supreme they have not yet donr any gun legislation in the year .
  3. Do you think there should be any restrictions on an individual's right to own and carry guns today? If so, what kind?Yea I thik that people should not carry gun .

  8. When describing her bill to ban large-volume gun magazines, Congresswomen Carolyn McCarthy, Democrat of New York, said, "This is not a gun-control bill.
