So no, i don't think any item contained within the bill of rights is up for discussion.

Now if you want to talk about how to keep guns and other weapons away from criminals and the mentally insane, that is indeed a topic for disucssion. But the INSTANT that "discussion" is about changing, altering, cheapening, lessening, etc on the bill of rights for competent law abiding citizens, there is no discussion at all.

My point in using the term 'fetishist' stems from the fact that talking to people in those terms is inherently disrespectful. I am not a gun owner. While I support your right to own those firearms, including AR-15s, I do not share your philosophy about the urgency of gun ownership. And yet, as I am not trying to take your guns away, I have been slapped with that term by individuals that do take your view. While it is probable that you were not applying that term to me specifically, it's use did certainly rub me the wrong way.
