The first three words of 2A is "A well regulated...". IDK where this idea comes from that guns cannot be regulated.

Shall we say prisoners have the right to bear arms? Felons with a violent past? People with mental illness? Surely there must be limits. Few rights are absolute in every circumstance.

You don't know what you're talking about when you decide that 'well regulated' means what you think it means. It is because you have done no research on the topic. Here: https://www.heritage.org/the-essential-second-amendment/the-...

If a person shouldn't have firearms, then they shouldn't be on the street. They should be in jail/prison. Period. I don't know that anyone that has argued that prisoners should have guns. You would have to be a fool. If a person shouldn't have access to guns, then they shouldn't have access to any other freedom. The ultimate purpose of owning firearms is to fight a tyrannical government. For that purpose, less limits is better for the people. This right is absolute, and anyone espousing otherwise is a tyrant or a fool.

Brits gave up their firearms in 1997. Less than 30 years later, they're being arrested for Facebook posts.

Well regulated meant well trained, not regulated as in restricted or controlled by the govt.

Regulated has more than one meaning. Read which is which.
