The judges must have missed this quote by George Mason, the father of the bill of rights, on the true meaning of "militia" in the 2nd amd:

"I ask you sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."

Maybe they know this quote by Mason, and agree with him, but from the other perspective on slavery:

"To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
