“The Constitution doesn’t dictate opinion, but it is a reality. You don’t care about it, but it doesn’t care about you either, and it is currently in charge. Violating it would cause a civil war, and that would be ugly.”
If it is wrong, just because doing the right thing would cause a civil war isnt a good enough reason not to do it.
Unless you are arguing since the constitution allowed slavery we should still have slaves trying to change that might lead to civil war.
oh wait….
If there is a good reason to allow civilians access to guns make that case. The constitution can (and has been) be changed.
furthermore the interpretation can certainly be changed, like in 2009 when the interpretation of the 2nd amendment was changed from applying to a “well-regulated milita” to “the people”
and even then 4 of the supreme court justices disagreed with the new interpretation.
In short
1) Reasonable people can disagree as to the meaning of the constitution.
2) Even if it outright said “the right to keep and bear any kind of arm no matter the type, shall not be infringed and not be regulated in any way.” that STILL wouldn’t be a good reason to enforce said policy
