...well and good to discuss but it is a side issue to this;
It doesn't say 'the right of the members of the militia'.
It doesn't say 'the right of the state.'
It says the people. The people have the right to keep and bare arms and we have the right to overthrow the government which in and of itself removes any concern over who regulates the militia as it CAN'T be the government as the government isn't going to over throw itself.
It is us. It is our militia.
We, the people.
You mean, the people have the right to overthrow the government? Like, whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness? You really think the people who wrote: "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security" might have been thinking about the government they were forming, and whether it, too, might someday need be overthrown?
That's crazy, man!
Anyway, all this argument may be moot. The Constitution means what the Supreme Court says it means, no matter what the original intent was.
Am looking forward to the outcome of the Supreme Court's decision to review DC's right to keep handguns out of its residents hands.
So how do you like the Supreme Court now?
