Your assumption is remiss... I am asking for references... not for people to do the work... or for me either in that case.
She asked me where she might find some assistance in understanding this right... I thought of Free Republic, the NRA and some other groups... which she will be using to better understand.
Please don’t assume...
To the others who are giving some thoughts... as my daughter will be reviewing this thread... thanks!
Attacking this persons argument (from the book authored by Steven’s) based on a few assertions we talked about seems doable...
> The Bill of rights can not be changed; one can propose a new amendment but can not change an existing guaranteed right
> Rights are individual in nature and meant to be protective not restrictive
> A militia is not meant to be a government regulated unit... but was inferred to as individuals of the country when the right was enumerated
> Even if one introduced a new amendment... if it further restricted the bill of rights, it would likely be found unlawful...
She will be putting together her argument after reviewing several references... and perhaps even speaking to some legal scholars....
Keep the thoughts coming... they are very helpful....
