Wow - You previously claimed that the second amendment protected a “State Militia.”

Further - Scalia supports the view that individuals outside the militia have a right to arms “the people’s weapons” - something you also contested.

Your inconsistency and mental gymnastics are amusing.

Never. I have said that the "well regulated Militia" of the second amendment referred to a state Militia.

Scalia didn't say "individuals outside the militia". He was referring to members of a milita -- that the way militias were destroyed was not by passing laws against them but by disarming those who formed the militia.
