You can't escape the strict scrutiny standard and claim an absolute right through any rhetorical sleight of hand. The right to own guns is as subject to constraint as any other right. What you are saying is akin to saying that the free-speech provision is unassailable because of the free-press provision. You (or the guys you are cutting and pasting) are trying to have your cake and eat it by jumping back and forth on the militia issue. If the militia clause holds, STATES have the power to limit arms to those deemed militia relevant, if you want to assert that this is an individual right then you face strict scrutiny.


The quote you provide reveals how much the authors realize that the standard interpretation of rights will allow government to regulate guns and are desperate to craft a defense through absolutely horrendous logic and a lot of quasi-legalistic nonsense which has NO BASIS in the real world of con-law.
