The notion that the 2nd Amendment was about universal individual gun rights is hardly Originalist. Heller(2008) was the result of a decades long crusade to reframe it. Judge-made law in its purest form. Until then, the strongest argument for it was the Incorporation Clause of the 14th Amendment.

To be clear, I don't have a problem with guns. I have a problem with imbuing gun ownership with some quasi-religious quality, which results in states being more able to regulate when teenagers can learn to drive, than being able to regulate if those teenagers can buy automatic rifles.
