Shall we look up "infringed" in the dictionary?

No right is absolute and regarding the 2nd Amendment, the Roberts court made that clear in its decision in the Heller (DC gun ban) case.

The finding of the Court, written by Scalia:

Held:
1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
..
2. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms....

is this radar dude one of the framers of the Constitution brought back to life to tell 21st century America what "they" meant 200+ years ago?

Wow. I thought that was why those framers established the federal judiciary of "one Supreme Court and such inferior courts..."

I dont understand why the words of Scalia in the Heller decision are so hard to interpret... "It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.."

Scalia is a freedom hating fuckwit that in any civilized nation would be beaten daily for his own good. Instead, since we are not in a civilized country, he is a Supreme Court Justice, who makes Samuel Alito look like Thurgood Marshall.

Just saying.
