Mojave: Are unconvicted Crips and Bloods the militia?
publiusF27: Sure, if they’re male citizens between 17 and 45...
Scalia: Had the Court believed that the Second Amendment protects only those serving in the militia, it would have been odd to examine the character of the weapon rather than simply note that the two crooks were not militiamen.
Per Scalia, your argument that Crips and Bloods are the Militia has NO relevance to the right to keep and bear arms.
Poor you.
tacticalogic at 1198: What do the Bloods and the Crips have to do with whether the right to keep and bear arms is a collective or individual right?
Mojave at 1199: That depends on whether you hold them to be part of the militia or not.
I am soooo glad that militia nonsense is over. Poor you. ;-)
Now, can we at least agree that Scalia was talking about the nature of the Miller case in that quotation, or are you still denying that as well?
