Self defense was not mentioned because the founders weren't morons. Self defense using any weapon from a pen knife to a cannon was an assumed right. They would no more see a need for a law allowing self defense than they would see the need for one allowing breathing.Heller 2010.
Will be overturned as soon as people who can actually read take over the court.
The words "self defense" are mentioned NOWHERE in the constitution BUT the word MILITIA is.
