I’m rereading it now. I’m not so sure about Stevens. He is probing for the difference between “shall not be infringed” and “shall not be unreasonably infringed”.

This is exciting! This is truly historic! We are living in interesting times. I watched a man take his first step on the moon. I watched the Soviet Union fall. I watched the millennium pass.

I expect they will decide it is an individual right. But they will add that it is subject to reasonable restrictions. And they will hopefully that the amendment encompasses two types of rights:
The right for the states to have a militia and
Individual rights of self defense of family and neighbors

But what's a "reasonable" restriction. To Teddey the fat, Obama, Feinstein, Brady, Earwax, Hillary, etc. it is absolutely reasonable to restrict all firearms to only their beloved police and their hated military. To me reasonable restrictions are if you can afford it then it's reasonable that you have it. When you have a right with restrictions, then it isn't a right.
