re: #314 Great White Snark

Or the Korean merchants that held off firebombing looters during the R King riots. The 2nd assured them the gun purchases. The crisis forced the sudden formation of a neighborhood militia that dissolved as fast as the crisis did. Well Regulated-They did everything within the law. Militia, they formed a defensive force as needed.

That’s why the 2nd as ruled in Heller really matters as an individual right.

I don’t think “well-regulated” is a synonym for “lawful”. Instead I’m reasonably sure it relates to (severe) military discipline.

In any case, if your position is that the 2nd amendment is an individual right, then there’s no point in trying to shoehorn case studies into a militia framework.
