"That right is justified IN the amendment by the necessity for a militia."

The right is an individual right and it belongs to the people. The right does not depend on any necessity for a militia.

"Protecting Freedom means far more than vetoing a AWB. Far more."

That's right, it does. Seems you've missed most of the other aspects. Try reading Hayek, The Road to Serfdom. As for the AWB, it seems you've failed to grasp it's significance, because of a lack of understandig of the value of what is essentially a minimum defense and it's significance as established law. There's nothing worse than hearing that the law is valid, when on it's face it is not.

"America's soul is far greater than its guns."

That's right, it is.

I was merely refering to the justification given in the 2d for protecting that right. Blame the founders for putting it there.
