Not till gun owners are required to join a "well-regulated militia" , as the Constitution says, will the 2nd Amendment be correctly followed and interpreted.
Where does it say in the 2nd Amend that gun rights are restricted to members of a "well regulated militia"? Seems to me that the 2nd says that a well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state but then preserves the right to keep and bear arms for "the people" and not "members of the well regulated militia". Experts in linguists have analyzed the language in the 2nd so that the first phrase provides a purpose for the second phrase, not a limitation.
So how do you achieve your restriction from the language in the 2nd and what 'well regulated milita" does one have to join in order to have gun rights?
