Once again for the slow and stupid.... The 2nd amendment gives the right to be armed to the people. The mention of the militia is simply one of many reasons that is true.
One point here worth mentioning to those who wish to argue the constitutions, they do not give anything to the people.
They authorize certain powers to government and recorded the expressed rights
reserved by the people to themselves. There is a huge distinction and this should never be stated in reverse because the constitution gives us nothing! It gives the government certain powers, nothing more.
Since the rights were reserved by the people for the people the government courts have no business using government judges to judge matters of the people.
Ridiculous gibberish.
The Constitution codifies our inalienable rights, rights that can be neither taken nor bestowed by any government, constitution, or man.
Although inalienable our rights are not absolute, they are subject to reasonable restrictions by government.
The Constitution’s case law determines the limits of government regulation, and the extent to which citizens’ rights might be restricted.
For well over a century before the advent of the Foundation Era the courts were engaging in judicial review, where the Framing Generation fully expected the Federal courts to continue to determine the constitutionality of laws and measures enacted by government, and invalidate those repugnant to the Constitution, as authorized by Article VI of the Constitution.
