The decision, as written by the late Scalia, to create an individual right bears no resemblance to any historical or legal precedent. Acting as amateur linguist and etymologist, it is ironic that Scalia, a so-called Originalist, also ignores the original meaning of the terms in the amendment. This is independent of whether 2A is currently useful, or—even more importantly—whether it was even a good/effective idea in the first place.
