Take the Second Amendment, which mentions the need for a well-regulated militia and conferring the right to bear arms.

It depends on what the meaning of "right" is.

-----"Take the Second Amendment, .... Because of the Framers' unclear wording, no one has been able to establish definitively whether this right belongs only to the militia or to individuals......"---

Amendment 2: "..... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".


I guess it depends on the meaning of "people".

Amendment 10 talks about the "States" (so people doesn't mean states).

Amendment 4 talks about the right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, etc.

Seems to me the meaning of "people" is pretty clear.
