"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT not be infringed."
The U.S. Constitution IS ABSOLUTE - the right of the American people to keep and bear firearms SHALL NOT be infringed by the government - period. If Geriatric Joe wants to change that, then he has to successfully go through the established procedures for amending The U.S. Constitution. He has no other recourse. Otherwise, from a legal standpoint, he's just pissin' in the wind.
