Dozens of people much smarter than me have written books about it.
Look into the dissenting opinions (and analysis of them) of DC v. Heller. Scalia claimed to be a “traditionalist,” and then completely ignored how the original text had been interpreted since the nation’s inception. He took a lot of heat for it at the time.

Just like Justice Scalia, you are able to hand-wave away ~200 years of precedent because it suits your pre-held ideology.
I anal, so hopefully you can provide me shit to read about this precedence and help me change my mind.
