The old proverb is right, haste does make waste. The first sentence of # 890 should have read;

"Apparently the majority of that court believed that the militia clause of the amendment modifies the RKBA clause, and therefore the amendment only protects a right to possess arms that are suitable for arming a militia."

Another boo-boo in # 890, there must be gremlins in my new Dell.

The Coxe quote should have read;

"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, the people are confirmed by the amendment in their right to keep and bear their private arms."

I didn't find the exact Coxe quotation , but I think my recollection of it conveys the gist of it.
