"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."Only well regulated militia enjoy that right, not the unorganized militia.Defense of self and property is a natural right. Arms make that more practicable.Article 1, section 8 is about the militia of the United States; the subject of Arms for the militia is declared socialized.
You are confusing natural rights with what is codified in our Constitution.
No sir, danielpalos. YOU are the only person who is confused. Make this simple for the reading audience:
Do you, danielpalos, as an individual believe that you have a Right to keep and bear Arms? A simple yes or no is all I ask.
Only well regulated militia may not be Infringed when keeping and bearing Arms for their State or the Union.
See the difference?
The difference, danielpalos, is that the RIGHT shall not be infringed.
No sir, danielpalos. YOU are the only person who is confused. Make this simple for the reading audience:
Do you, danielpalos, as an individual believe that you have a Right to keep and bear Arms? A simple yes or no is all I ask.
WRONG again, danielpalos. The Right of the people is what is protected by the Second Amendment. The militia is necessary, but it is the Right of the people that is protected from infringement.

Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788
Only well regulated militia enjoy that right, not the unorganized militia.
