Prior to this ruling, every lower federal circuit court in every lower federal circuit court case (save one) has ruled a "collective" right -- ie., an individual RKBA as part of a state Militia. The second amendment was to protect the ability of the states to form state Militias from federal interference.

I'm always thrilled when gun grabbers make really blatant errors. So "the people" in the 1st Amendment is an individual right but in the 2nd Amendment "the people" is a collective right.  I have this really nice bridge that surely you'll be interested in buying.

You just shot yourself in the foot for the umpteenth time.

"So "the people" in the 1st Amendment is an individual right but in the 2nd Amendment "the people" is a collective right."

Given the prefatory clause of the second amendment (which is missing from the first amendment, thereby making a comparison between the two amendments ludicrous), "the people" in the second amendment is an individual right applied collectively.

According to the gun grabbing courts.

Why isn't concealed carry legal in every state if the second amendment protects that right?

The gun grabbers know damn well what the Constitution means . They just change what they want it to mean when its suits their needs. It's written in plain English .
