Count the postings to this thread. YOu'll find that even though OT it is generating more interest
then anything else going on in this newsgroup right now. That's the First Amendment at work.
Don't like it? Then exercise your own rights rather than try to suppress others, by just ignoring
this thread.

True. Federal courts have consistently held that the right to bear arms in the Second Amendment
is an individual right, not a right belonging to a "well regulated militia" or to members of a
militia.

Even though the Amendment itself limits the right to a "well-regulated militia".


Where did you get your copy of the Constitution? 'Cause I've read the Second Amendment dozens of
times from dozens of sources, and and NONE of the copies I EVER saw limit the right to bear arms to
"a well regulated militia." And read my first post above again.

Its right there, in the same sentence.
