Are we going to go through this again?

It appears so.

Why do you care what whether the rest of us have the freedom to keep and bear arms without government intervention?

First, on Constitutional principle.
Second, if one understands the Constitutional right correctly, then it's possible to differentiate meddling vs. legitimate authority of the Government to regulate.

It doesn't bother your activities or your freedom, so why do you spend so much energy talking down the Second Amendment?

And it also has little to do with the price of eggs. So what?

We don't meddle with your freedom to travel, which is something that you avidly recommend, so why do you want to meddle in our freedom?

Nor did you defend it. My freedom of travel has been regulated [restricted] quite significantly by the US government. Some of those restrictions were deemed unconstitutional...where were you? As long as you can fondle your gun, you were happy. Why weren't you defending my freedom of travel? Can I tell you explicitly what those restrictions were? No. My freedom of speech is regulated, I'm prohibited, by law, from disclosing what those restrictions were or why they were there. So tell me. How are you going to defend my freedom of speech or the remaining travel restrictions that have been imposed on me?
