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. |

| Resistance to sudden violence, for the preservation not only of my person, my limbs, and life, but of my property, is an indisputable right of nature which I have never surrendered to the public by the compact of society, and which perhaps, I could not surrender if I would. — JOHN ADAMS |
