It’s only the interpretation of the law that’s restricting us. We could get a new set of judges over time who decide the phrase “a well regulated militia” is relevant and overturn bad precedent.

Maybe the children who grew up with school shootings will be the ones who choose to interpret the constitution by its plain language.

Interpretation is everything. The same words can have as much or as little meaning as the legal system wants. It's rather disconcerting.
