It's not us. We have too many outsiders bringing in their Liberal mindset overwhelming big cities especially in Northern Virginia. A problem just not unique to Virginia though. Other states are experiencing the same thing.
Any day now the majority of Virginians will be suburbanites and, like Maryland, it will no longer be a southern state. I am surprised it hasn't happened yet. They are not outsiders, you are the past.
Which restrictions specifically does the language of the 2nd amendment allow?
There is no "except" after "shall not be infringed".
You'd have to ask the Supreme Court. Where I am it is against the law to carry a gun onto school property. I would be surprised if it is different where you live. You also can't carry a gun into government buildings. There are prohibitions on the possession and even ownership of firearms by felons and the mentally ill. These are all restrictions deemed allowable under the 2nd Amendment.
This isn't unique to the 2nd Amendment. Think about the 1st. We could come up with a long list of speech not protected by the 1st Amendment too.

Its all about property rights.
In a free society, yes an individual can own weapon X, but Magic Movie Theater group gets to decide acceptable limits of speech, weapon possession, attire etc. in its cinemas.

Really?
What words does the government bar you from saying?
"Yelling fire in a crowded theater"?
That's not a restriction on what you can say, it's a restriction on causing a panic and endangerment of others.
You can stand on your own property and yell "FIRE!!" At the top of your lungs all day.
But restrictions on certain types of arms aren't just banned in certain places.
If you can't own an "assault rifle" , you can't own or use it anywhere........even on your own property or at a gun range.
That's not even close to the same thing as not yelling fire in a theater.
Again, you’d have to run that by the Supreme Court, but they’ve already ruled on that.
Run what?
