I've Been Accused of being Liberal. Okay I'm laying my cards on the table

For those still debating/discussing the 2nd Amendment, I'll offer up the words of Thomas Jefferson here, in hopes that they may lend some clarity:

That is helpful, but its not dispositive - and that is my point. If you read the Constitution it says "we the people" not "we the framers" or "we the people who wrote this document and/or who wrote about supporting or opposing it." Why should anyone concerned about jurisprudence try to adopt a method that only takes into account those who actually wrote something about it and whose writings have actually survived?

And, of course, it doesn;t help in solving (or getting out of) the dilemma I posed.
