Actually, we can resolve it. The 2nd Amendment is vital to gun ownership in this country. A central reasoning for it. It is very clear what a "well-regulated militia" is.

"The Constitution states that all power is inherent in the people, that they may exercise it by themselves, and that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; no man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson
