The Light of Truth
Funny how there's no evidence that anyone involved in the writing/ratifying of the Constitution or bill of rights says anything that supports the idea that the amendment protects the right to arms only when connected to service in the militia.Despite the cherry picking of SCOTUS decisions, all of the first ten Amendments were restrictions on Federal powers, which were reserved for the States. The specific wording of the Second Amendment ("militia" and "bear arms") obviously had a military connotation. That being said, the inalienable individual rights to life and liberty in the Declaration of Independence obviously include the right to self defense.
That's -no- evidence. None.
