In Bruce Poliquin’s Maine Compass, “Second Amendment right to keep, bear arms inviolate, not open to interpretation” (June 3), he writes that the Second Amendment doesn’t need to be interpreted.

I’m not so sure. Words don’t interpret themselves. Does “arms’ include sawed-off shotguns? Bazookas? Do I have the right to carry a weapon on an airplane? In a grade school? Into the county jail?
