God, you do twist words to suit you.

Like twisting this:

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

into this?

Yes, the right of individuals to bear arms collectively in a militia for the security of a free state are protected from federal infringement.

The second amendment neither protects nor confers the right of individuals to bear arms outside of a militia. That protection comes from the state constitution. (from robertpaulsen's post #269 on this thread)

Now, does that represent the Courts' view, robertpaulsen's view, or both?
