I'm afraid that you're the one who doesn't understand what the second amendment does - scotus ruled (in DC v. Heller) that militias really have nothing to do with it, well-regulated or otherwise.
- WorldMaker 11y agoMy attempted point was that modern interpretations of the Second Amendment vary greatly from the actual wording of the Second Amendment and that the supposed "defined rights" people think they have is an interesting modern twist in the story, and thus could be used to argue for "drone rights". Pointing to a 2008 SCOTUS decision in which handguns were explicitly redefined to fall under "arms" and that several clauses of the amendment were seen as "superfluous" seems to only amplify that point I was trying to make. Thanks for the help.
