Is the Second Amendment an individual, or collective, right?

Who would even ask such a constitutionally pointless question, and why?

The Bill of Rights does not grant individual or collective rights. The Bill of Rights protects inherent rights from interference by the government.

Anyone asking that question one would have first taken the position that a state would call upon unarmed men to make up a militia. I fear only constitutionally corrupted courts would entertain answering constitutionally corrupted questions.

Bingo!!!

“Nail on the proverbial head, post of the day!”

You’d almost bring to a halt the whole process this is going to encounter if they let you argue that one point before the court...

You would make the government look really stoopid if you got the chance though...

I’d pay money for tickets to just watch!!! ;-)
