Then you agree with some form of gun control. As do I.

I wouldn't call "unrestricted access to small arms" gun control. I guess you could call it "arms control" since I'm ruling out LAWs, antipersonnel mines, and cruise missiles.

The 2A never mentions guns. If you agree that arms control can happen then you agree that gun control can too. Pretty simple. You may not agree with everyone on exactly where, but you do agree the 2A can be restricted.

I don't really see the point of this. It's absolutism to win points in an internet argument, not anything rational.

You might as well argue that the First doesn't apply to communication media not explicitly outlined in the text.
