DEar deaR dear rich4eagle, your statement >>"the right to bear arms" literally interpreted says put on your holster belt if needed and shoot on sight if needed. Is a clear indication that you have a case of EXTREME CDD. Comprehension Deficit Disorder.
The right to bear arms literally could mean one has the right to wear sleeveless shirts. It could also mean that one has the right to the arms of a bear or several bears.
I challenge you to show by a lexical reference where it gives one the right to shoot on site. Do you understand what the word literal means????
Anyway in past I've found that individuals such as yourself with such extreme cases fo CDD are generally, 99.999999% beyond any hope or help. But not wanting anyone to be condemned to life of constant choking from swallowing both feet whole I provide you with this link to read up on a Constitutional analysis of the right to bear arms. inet-one.com
Also here is the definition of literal. lit·er·al (ltr-l) adj.
