so you are okay with activism so long as it suits your ideologyuntil heller it was not considered an individual rightif it were 'dead' the 2nd amendment would still be considered a militia right, not an individual right.
The Second Amendment does not say anything about any “right of the militia”. It explicitly identifies the right which if affirms as “…the right of the people…”.
scalia's activism changed that
It was written as an individual right in the original words. “…the right of the people…”. There is no honest way to twist that into meaning anything than an individual right belonging to each and every individual free American. Those who try to claim that it means or was ever intended to mean otherwise are engaging in willful dishonesty.
It is you who is engaging in “activism”, by denying the clear meaning of the words “…the right of the people…” as they are written in the Constitution, in favor of what you wish had been written instead.
