Dude, reading comprehension matters. Each amendment uses specific words.See, I just demonstrated that you don't even read what is written for you. I said the FIRST amendment. You said none of the amendments applied to individuals, let's start with the first. Tell me why you only have free speech protection when you're a part of a licensed and regulated group.Our Second Amendment clearly expresses which militia are necessary.Tell me how the First Amendment applies only to groups and not to individuals. You did after all claim that none of the amendments apply to individuals.A simple error.Irrelevant pursuant to that certain Majority Affirmation #1 of DC vs Dick Hellerfederal law is federal law, right wingers. 10USC246 is federal law.
Held:
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
This is the common law understanding of the militia for the common defense.
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."
