"The Supreme Court can decide that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms only as part of the militia; in other words, the judges decide what the Constitution means."


Misinformed? -- The above is MORE than 'misinformed', it is sheer autocratic idiocy from an erstwhile supporter of a free republic. - It violates every precept of our inalienable individual rights.

Whether or not "it" violates every precept of what you, or any individual, deems his "inalienable individual rights," the final arbiter on what the Constitution, and any of its provisions, means is the Supreme Court, qualified only by the power of citizens in the admendment process -- either through the Congress and State Legislatures or through a called Constitutional Convention. You and I may disagree with any particular Supreme Court ruling but it's view becomes law of the land, not yours, not mine.
