"The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner."

Note: " . . . . that what IS protected IS an individual right . . . "

Sounds like a pretty good definition of what "IS" is to me.
