The fact is, they could eventually just ban guns completely, and when the judges and the people say, "But the 2nd Amendment says..." they'll reply, "Okay, print out a copy of the 2nd Amendment, tape it to your chest, and see if it stops the bullets of the of the soldiers coming to kill you and take your guns." They've hinted at this kind of thing a lot, letting us know that our freedom comes not from the Constitution, but from their good graces, which they could revoke at any time.
