Well regulated militia of the whole People have literal recourse to our Second Amendment when keeping and bearing Arms for their State or the Union. Only the unorganized militia complains about gun control laws meant for Individuals of the People.
Sober up in court, Mister.
Gun rights are for individuals. Only one person on the trigger at a time. That's right. That's me, the citizen, the individual, whose rights you are violating to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars of damages, not including pain and suffering.
Our Second Amendment is not about gun rights, but about the security of a free State. It says so in the first clause.
Both, the purpose of arms is for defending the laws.
With those rights comes that responsibility.
Historically, since this law was written at a time the people suffered from British forces
trying to disarm Americans to oppress them, and since not all States HAD a militia
at the time, the meaning of the law is traditionally for the people to bear arms
(and as you state very well, the purpose of THAT is for defending laws, ie not violating them).
The best interpretation I have gotten off USMB for the people/Militia connection
is
ChrisL who said since the people are the Government,
the people ARE the Militia. EVERYONE is responsible for defending the laws.
Again, the main conflict I see in interpreting the 2A is when people take it
out of context with the PURPOSE being DEFENDING LAWS.
Taking this laws OUT OF CONTEXT then causes complications with how
to regulate it where guns are not ABUSED TO VIOLATE LAWS.
So if we AGREED the whole PURPOSE is for LAW ENFORCEMENT and DEFENSE
then that PRECLUDES any such abuse for violating rights, laws or protections of the law.
Thanks again

I like the way you stated that which is clear and consistent with 2A defenders.
Would you like to add this clarification of the 2A to the
list of proposed govt reforms, and just ask parties to agree
that the 2A inherently applies and is restricted to use for DEFENDING laws
and inherently precludes any abuse of arms to VIOLATE laws or rights of others.
So far we have 3 clarifications
1. one on the duty of federal govt in
COMMON DEFENCE
and in
GENERAL WELFARE
where we either agree to support both, or agree to
separate administrations to specialize in separate areas
so these do not compete for budget support, but allow
taxpayers to pay extra funds to either one in addition
to the regular budget that everyone agrees as a necessary base.
2. one on this clarification that the 2A inherently applies
to defense of laws and inherently precludes abuse for violations.
3. one on the requirement for businesses, corporations and parties
to file as either Nonreligious, Religious, or Political Religious Organizations.
Where nonreligious is held to Public Accommodations standards,
Religious is purely private, and Political Religious requires mediation and consensus
to make sure the policies, lobbying and legislation in public does not discriminate against other creeds
and if it does, then these activities and agenda revert to private operations instead of public.
