The Second Amendment, meanwhile, says that “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.”
The “people” are those who comprise the Militia, not just any or every citizen.
Just because Americans have historically, traditionally and culturally stockpiled guns for personal and private uses does not mean that such a practice is constitutionally valid. |

More leftist stupidity!
The militia is composed of all the people. Further, the amendment is not limited, as with all the Bill of Rights, it inhibits the government from interfering with our God given rights! |

| Disingenuous ****! The people mentioned in the 2A are exactly the same as the people mentioned in the first, fourth, fifth and every place in the Constitution where the word appears. This is a principle of the law in how legal documents are to be understood. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
