the excerpts I provided were picked by me and taken from court opinions which I've read in full and thoroughly considered from both sides. I've delved deeply into the arguments on both sides of this debate before, strictly out of curiosity and not because I have a "dog in the fight".

Your attempt at "argument by belittling" doesn't bother me. Why should it? You're a random stranger on the internet.

I've gone back and forth with certain interlocutors in informed, civil, debate over this question for days on end without either of us once ever questioning the other's intellectual honesty or ability to understand the arguments, as you've just done right here, after only one exchange.

I don't really have the time or interest in opening this debate again with you -- in parsing what 18th century writers meant by "militia", or what was in Alexander Hamilton's mind when he penned the Second Amendment, etc.

(P.S. -- it's your ability to understand arguments that I doubt. It started in your first reply when you ostensibly "corrected" my already correct summary of Presser v Illiniois and other things. Now you post this rambling, semi-incoherent screed (e.g. "I would have to read his quote in context." Who? WTF are you taking about?)
