You can (and will) argue the definition of militia; but the fact remains that the 2nd amendment specifically speaks to regulation.


I'm pretty indifferent to guns, gun culture, and such. I just don't buy the any, any, any mentality that the NRA pushes as a constitutional right (Any weapon, any person, anywhere). A single sentence that gives you the right to bear arms, also allows for regulation. Selective quotation doesn't change that.
Sure, attack my 'selective' quotation. The two clauses are interpreted separately. See DC v. Heller, 128 S. Ct. 2783, specifically sections II(A)(2) & (3).

Regulated applies to the militia. Not to the arms. But whatever. Attack my quotation. Got a problem with the interpretation? File suit. Good luck.
