Duh, only if you're in a militia... Are you in a militia...? Actually, no one is - because we have a standing socialist army.
No militia - no guns!
That's not true. From the Supreme Court ruling:
1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA v. HELLER
Heller was a shitty ruling, in future court cases it could be interpreted that you can only have a firearm in your home, it said nothing about outside your home.
In a split opinion (see below), the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals
"We are disinclined to engage in another round of historical analysis to determine whether eighteenth-century America understood the Second Amendment to include a right to bear guns outside the home," Judge Richard Posner wrote in the court's majority opinion.
"The Supreme Court has decided that the amendment confers a right to bear arms for self-defense, which is as important outside the home as inside. The theoretical and empirical evidence (which overall is inconclusive) is consistent with concluding that a right to carry firearms in public may promote self-defense," he continued.
