I can regurgatate things I hear from all sorts of people, however I'd like to have facts and data to back up my views.

I've been trying to read up on old court cases, and such.

Does anyone have some suggestions, I'd hate to be "that guy" who can only say "It's our 2nd amendmant right!" to everything some of these anti gun nuts are spewing.
 
If you go to a decent library, they will probably have a copy of the United States Code with annotations. The annotations are a list of court cases that have discussed the part of the Code you are reading - including the Constitution. There is also a one sentence summary of the case.

Go to the Second Amendment. There aren't that many cases. You can probably write down the citations to all of them. Then Google the case name and/or the volume and page number. You will find the text of the case.

Read it. Come to your own conclusions. Compare it to what the NRA says it means and what the VPC says it means.

I'd start with the two recent Supreme Court cases out of D.C. and Illinois. They are easy to find.
 
I highly recommend Wayne LaPierre's book, Guns, Crime and Freedom. I'm sure you can still get this book from the NRA.
 
Look up the federalist papers, the writing of Thomas Payne, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington..... or any of the other founding fathers. If you want to defend your position against the gun grabbers, I find our founding fathers a great source of material.

I recommend reading the writings of the Founding Fathers. Plenty of ammo there for what their Original Intent was.

You can also read up on the results of gun control in nations where it has been instituted already.
