What part of "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."?? Shall not be infringed! The case of the District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) put a nail in the connection between the right to bear arms and militia or military service. It is quite clear that immediately after the Freedom of speech the very next most important right, as enumerated by the founders of this greatest and most noble experiment in self governance, was the right to armed self defense. It seems to me they finally took the blinders off and realized that legal weapons are almost never used in crime. I sure don't want you sitting on a jury judging me if that's your opinion of what our courts should be doing.
