It Only applies to well regulated militias of the United States, if we have to quibble in legal venues.It Only does not apply to militias, well regulated, due to our Second Amendment, literally.LMAO! What does paragraph (2) say about the 2nd being dependent on the citizen serving in a militia? Read the word of the SCOTUS and understand that this is the law of the land.Yes, it must be so simply because this is a States' sovereign right, supported by our Second and Tenth Amendments:
The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia.
LMAO! What does paragraph (1) say about the 2nd being dependent on the citizen serving in a militia? Read the word of the SCOTUS and understand that this is the law of the land.
Paragraph (2) does not say anything about the 2nd being dependent on the citizen serving in a militia.
""(2) Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56."
Once again I challenge you to copy this and underline any portion that mentions the militia.
The fact that it does not apply to state militias does not, in any way, mean that the 2nd amendment applies only to state militias.
Paragraph (1) explicitly states that it is an individual right, not dependent on service in a militia. Paragraph (2) does nothing to contradict that.
