I have not read the Heller decision in its entirety. I do know that there are Supreme Court rulings that Heller contradicts. I do know that some legal scholars say the 2nd Amendment is poorly worded. I do know that views on how the Constitution should be interpreted have changed over time. I do know that it's not an obvious amendment. There is no such thing as we have lawyers arguing the meaning of the Constitution all the time. Nothing is very clear cut. Language is nuanced, intent is nuanced, and there are a ton of gray areas. |

Can I ignore or rewrite the 14th amendment because I find it confusing?

Yeah, people started ignoring parts they weren't comfortable with and finding new parts in prenumbras.
Your argument boils down to, "I don't know, everyone. There are a lot of gray areas, so we better just agree to do what I want."
