Good grief, - has it become clear that the Founders had the security of only the collective public in mind? - Meaning that the type of arm protected in the 2nd must be suitable for militia purposes only?

What a strange web these socialists weave, - when their intent is to deceive.

That web is supported by the key deception of claiming that Miller supports a "collective right", a term which I am confident our Founders would not recognize, especially as applied to the Bill of Rights.

The anti-gunners future hangs on a slender thread that will be forever broken by a Supreme Court decision affirming Parker. If the Supremes rule that the right to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment is an individual right, then who can make the claim that it is not "fundamental", given its prominent position in the Bill or Rights.

That fundamental nature triggers the protection of the Fourteenth Amendment. The rest is just a mopping up operation of challenging the nationwide tyranny of shifting the burden of ineffective "crime-control" onto the backs of law-abiding gun owners.
