Here we go- clinging bitterly- the opinion states:
10:24 Tom Goldstein - Quoting the syllabus: The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia...Militia members brought their own weapons with them, didn't they? Local and state governments weren't providing them early on. If the locals hadn't owned their own weapons the colonies'd've been screwed.

Washington DC is recognized to have the same rights as everyone else. This means the people can form a Militia and protect themselves from anyone including the Government.
