Uh...DK? Was addressing StanT?
From what I superficially gather, the Fed's justification for regulating firearms is something like the commerce clause, not the 'regulated' portion of the 2A.
Anyway, the point is this: StanT says I'm selectively quoting. However, the Supreme Court (the supreme interpreters of the constitution!!!) itself, considers the two portions separately. One as 'prefatory' (in other words, the purposes for the amendment), and the other as 'operative' (what the amendment actually in fact protects).
Legal acrobatics indeed.
