Is the "people" the same as "an individual person?"

Wonder why the amendment was not written to say "...the right of citizens or inhabitants?" This isn't a trick question. Do you have any idea why that particular wording was selected?

Thus.. -- You claim "the people " in the Second Amendment, whose right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, --- are only comprised of "the members of the militia which was stated as a justification for the 2d".


Obviously the people referenced in the 2nd are the 'People of the United States'.
-- It will be intreresting to see you dig yourself out of your own "trick question" hole.

Two bits you won't even try to explain yourself on that howler..

Nope claimed nothing of the sort rather stated that the militia was considered to be every able-bodied man but I will modify that to say in 1787 it was every able-bodied FREE man.
