You can argue the 2nd Amendment does not protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and does not protect the right to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home-- but if you do, you choose to be wrong.
Nothing in the Second says Self Defense. If we are using Judicial Rulings, Judges Law which is the point of this discussion, then we are all falling into the trap. We approve of one decision, and disdain another.
Let’s keep this simple. The First Amendment says that Congress shall pass no law. Judicial Decisions, the same Judges Laws that allowed Abortion, decided that the First Amendment was an Individual Right. But if we go strictly by what is written, isn’t it true that the States could ban religions? Or create a single religion for the occupants of the State? Utah could make it a death penalty offense to be anything but Mormon as one example.
