I've read Miller. The Fed Gov had no just power, powers given by the Constitution, to even rule on the issue. The case should have been thrown out. Period.
Now you are applying your powerless opinion of what the 2dn means in place of the very real meaning as perverted by the imperial court. What you or I believe is of no consequence. What the Court wrote drives the law.

What you or I believe is of no consequence. What the Court wrote drives the law. If the government no longer functions by the very document and rules set out for it... what is it called?
Tyranny? Anarchy? Democracy?
Anything but a Constitutional Republic. It is for this very reason our Founders rebelled against the Crown to begin with. It is for this very reason the Founders wanted EVERYONE armed. In case we had to do it again...

The read is long but fascinating. That the courts and state legislatures simply ignore the Constitution has little to do with what the amendment was designed to do and more to do with obstructionist and activist judges and politicians pandering to liberal bases.

Weird, in one post you defend the logic of Roland & the 2nd/14th Amendments; -- and in the next you claim the courts 'drive the law'.
Can you explain?
