Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit marked a milestone in Second Amendment history by ruling that the Second Amendment limits state and local government infringements on our right to keep and bear arms through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

From the 9th Circus Circuit Court?

Knock me over with a feather.....

Well, even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.

The Second Amendment basically says that the government is not entitled to a monopoly of arms. It didn't mention anything about a federal or state militia because a militia is a body of citizens organized for military service, not a body of police, soldiers or government conscripts. Albeit we don't have many organized militias, the public could organize as the need arises.
