The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a
firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for
traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
Milt sez:
:This was a poorly-written decision,
meaning it doesn't agree with his twisted view of the world
:that twists the Constitution into a knot, and will FORCE
:future Supreme Courts to have to clarify. This

No it doesn't.
[begin excerpt]
The Constitution as originally adopted granted to the
Congress power - "To provide for calling forth the Militia
to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and
repel Invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and
disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of
them as may be employed in the Service of the United States,
reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the
Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia
according to the discipline prescribed by Congress." With
obvious purpose to assure the continuation and render
possible the effectiveness of such forces the declaration
and guarantee of the Second Amendment were made. It must be
interpreted and applied with that end in view.

Did Tony Baloney cite this language from Miller, Fungloon?
Also, Scalia said nothing about Maryland v. US out of consideration,
so this still stands:
[begin excerpt]
The National Guard is the modern Militia reserved to the
States by Art. I, section 8, cl. 15, 16, of the
Constitution. [footnote 8] It has only been in recent years
that the National Guard has been an organized force, capable
of being assimilated with ease into the regular military
establishment of the United States. From the days of the
Minutemen of Lexington and Concord until just before World
War I, the various militias embodied the concept-of a
citizen army, but lacked the equipment and training
necessary for their use as an integral part of the reserve
force of the United States Armed Forces. [footnote 9]

Here, loon, let me rub your nose in it some more. I especially like
this one;
Obviously, the same test could not be used to
evaluate the extent to which a legislature may regulate a specific,
enumerated right, be it the freedom of speech, the guarantee against
double jeopardy, the right to counsel, or the right to keep and bear
arms. See United States v. Carolene Products Co., 304 U. S. 144, 152,
n. 4 (1938) (“There may be narrower scope for operation of the
presumption
of constitutionality [i.e., narrower than that provided by
rational-basis review] when legislation appears on its face to be
within
a specific prohibition of the Constitution, such as those of the first
ten
amendments. . .”). If all that was required to overcome the right to
keep and bear arms was a rational basis, the Second Amendment would
be redundant with the separate constitutional prohibitions on
irrational laws, and would have no effect.
Know what that means loon? It MEANS that regulation of a SPECIFIC
ENUMERATED RIGHT, like the RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, MUST pass
"strict scrutiny". It also means you have a LIFETIME of getting your
ass kicked before you.

Again, where does Scalia say the Second Amendment has nothing to do
with the militia? What he does is split the amendment in two parts,
the first part he says has no relationship to the second.
In fact, the Second Amendment is one sentence which says, Because a
well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state,
the right of the people t keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The word "individual" doesn't not appear in the text of this
amendment.
Scalia's opinion is infested with numerous errors of historical and
legal fact which will still have not been applied to the states, just
to a federal district. And this bundle of NRA disinformation won't be
applied to the states because the governors won't stand for it. They
need the National Guard lots more than they need the NRfuckingA.

Absolutely! The SCOTUS decision is totally null and void because
Congress has the power to impose ANY kind of law in the District. They
can totally suspend the constitution and impose a police state
dictatorship as Lee wants if they so choose (and wait and see, they
may soon answer his wishes).
Therefore the Heller case decision is totally moot because the
Constitution does NOT apply in the District if Congress says it
doesn't! And because the case was about the District, it simply does
not apply to the several states!
The bottom line is very clear. The Second Amendment is STILL a
"collective right" which only guarantees that those in the standing
army can keep and bear (under the strict scrutiny of the government)
arms. Everyone else can be disarmed by the government at will. It
means that all this opinion means nothing in DC and nothing elsewhere
either. The whole opinion is invalid and therefore can be legally
totally ignored by all big city mayors. Furthermore, Scalia can be
impeached once a nice leftist regime is in the White House and the
whole situation put right as a more Stalinist regime begins a purge of
all those persons engaging in Anti-Sovie.... er... Anti-Amercan
counter-revolutionary activites . Perhaps a little taste of "extreme
questioning" in Gitmo without charges or a lawyer will loosen their
tongues!
And then you will all see The Weasel strutting around in his snappy
Nazi uniform, barking orders and observing the torture saying: "Laugh,
laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh!"
Does this about sum it all up?
Sorry, but Congress can't violate the terms of the Constitution, and that
includes the Bill of Rights......even in DC.
Took him a couple of days to slither out, but ya seems gerbil-boy has
crawled back out of his own asshole. I think he likes the abuse.
b.
The District of Columbia is not one of the several states. Didn't
they tell you, Mr. Fuckhand?
Did you know the District lacks the power to call out its own National
Guard? Has to ask Congress to call out the Guard for it.
The National Guard is the well-regulated militia of Art I Sect 8 Cl 16
and the Second Amendment.
The Founders say so. Tiny Tony Scalia's opinion especially as a so-
called "originalist" is wildly dishonest or worse - studiously
ignorant.
Next.

First, who says there's no such thing as a collective right? You
still haven't explained how your definition of "the people" as always
individuals fits into Tenth Amendment powers; unless you're talking
about dictators.
Second, here's the full scope of DC v. Heller's jurisdiction:
"We consider whether a District of Columbia prohibition
on the possession of usable handguns in the home violates
the Second Amendment to the Constitution."
So says Tony Scalia.
I don't see anything in there about any of the several states.
Guess you need another case to get that done, eh Felix the Rat?
Laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh.

See Article I, Section 8 Clause 17.

That's according to Scalia's own writing:
"We consider whether a District of Columbia prohibition
on the possession of usable handguns in the home violates
the Second Amendment to the Constitution."
He doesn't say anything about the states except in dicta. You're
probably too young to remember Judge Garwood's dicta in Emerson, and
how the NRA told gunloons it was the end-all court case on the Second
Amendment, and how gunloons learned the hard way that the NRA is a big
liar.
And now you still need another case brought to the Supreme Court. Too
bad!

What exactly about the case do you claim changes the state militia's
status as a state militia when it's not mustered into fderal service
you ridiculous drunkard?
Also, should there be any wiggle room at all when installing an 18.5"
Mossberg 500 cylinder bore bead sight barrel on a Maverick 88 that
came with a 28" barrel? Those barrels should be interchangeable
shouldn't they? Why would there be any wiggle room?
Please answer the second question first if you can.
Actually Scalia invaded state sovereignty issues with this opinion so
I expect states you wouldn't expect to oppose the fully deployed
rightwing kook Scalia to oppose his opinion in Heller. The states
have a great deal to lose by siding with the rightwing on this case.
States like to make and enforce their own weapons laws, now they'll
have the NRA wasting taxpayers' dollars challenging state gun laws
based on Tony Scalia's extraconstitutional stunt.
Also, the states like their National Guard (the well-regulated militia
of the 2nd Amendment and Art I Sect 8 Cls 15-16) and they will fight
this bad opinion and they'll win. Because by then Scalia will be
shamed to retire or have a health issue or get a better job at
Pepperdine as a full time rightwing propagandist.
Thanks for the horse pistol.

Well first, the US Constitution is all one thing. The
amendments to it are actually articles like Article I, Article
II, you get the idea.
When you constantly treat the first ten amendments as a
different document, you suggest some part of the Constitution
that you like is more important than the rest.
Why would you do a thing like that?

So you'd say the persons imprisoned in Gitmo have a right to
have and use guns?
Sounds like a notion you got from an NRA lawyer. Which one
was it?

What you say has always been a wide pile of horseshit, Mr.

So every noun in the Second Amendment is a collective noun.
"Militia" is a collective noun, it's a body of citizen
soldiers.
"State" is a collective noun, it's the body politic as
organized for supreme civil rule and government.
"The people" is a collective noun, the whole body of
enfranchised or qualified citizens, considered as the source
of power; esp. in a democratic state.
"Arms" is a collective noun, meaning the weapons of war
altogether, which is why the militia is not irrelevant to the
Second Amendment.
There's no room for individuals in the Second Amendment
because it's about all of us together. Your individual right
to have weapons, if any, comes under the power of the internal
police reserved to the states under the Tenth Amendment.

What exactly about the case do you claim changes the state militia's
status as a state militia when it's not mustered into fderal service
you ridiculous drunkard?
%%%% How can the NG be the militia in the BOR when it didn't come into being
until 1902? My state militia is the militia and not the NG. The federal
government has no control of my state's militia like it does the NG. Only
the governor can call us out and we cannot be pressed into national service
like the NG lonely rodent.
Also, should there be any wiggle room at all when installing an 18.5"
Mossberg 500 cylinder bore bead sight barrel on a Maverick 88 that
came with a 28" barrel? Those barrels should be interchangeable
shouldn't they? Why would there be any wiggle room?
%%%% It's a legal barrel lonely rodent, I have double barrel shotguns with
18" barrels. What is this "wiggle room" you are talking about? OTOH how does

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and
law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own
conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the
law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the
lawless will allow... For society does not control crime, ever, by
forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected
behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals
to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding."
---------- Jeff Snyder
%%%% So the remainder of the BOR are collective rights and not individual
rights.
Only the collective has free speech and not the individual.
Only the collective has the right of not having soldiers quartered in their
homes and not the individual.
Only the collective has security of their persons, houses papers and effects
from search and seizure and not the individual.
Only the collective is protected from double jeoparty and not the
individual.
Only the collective has a right to a speedy trial and defense and not the
individual.
Only the collective has the right to a jury trial and not the individual.
Only the collective has a right against cruel and unusual punishment and not
the individual.
Only the collective has the right of the enumerations in the Constitution
and not the individual.
Only the collective has the power not delegated to the US by the
Constitution and reserved to the state and not the individual.

1. Operative Clause.
a. “Right of the People.” The first salient feature of

The unamended Constitution and the Bill of Rights
use the phrase “right of the people” two other times, in the
First Amendment’s Assembly-and-Petition Clause and in
the Fourth Amendment’s Search-and-Seizure Clause. The
Ninth Amendment uses very similar terminology (“The
enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall
not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by
the people”). All three of these instances unambiguously
refer to individual rights, not “collective” rights, or rights
that may be exercised only through participation in some

Actually the name "National Guard" dates from about 1824 and
was adopted by a New York state militia unit in honor of
LaFayette.
And the US Constitution gives Congress power to organize the
militia which entails the power to call it whatever the fuck
Congress wants.

I guess you want a cite for a federal statute that overturned
a US Supreme Court opinion?
Then ask for it like a man.

You're more interested in names than function. I was just
reading a Massachusetts Militia Act from 1775 and I find no
mention of the Minutemen. The Minutemen were created in 1644
and were enrolled in the organized militia, usually between the
ages of 19 and 25, fought at Lexington, and now a year later I
find no metion of Minutemen in this Massachusetts statute.
There is mention of an Alarm List for each company, but the
Minutemen must have been disbanded.
And I guess they no longer had a militia, they had this
"Training Band" which was certainly no militia - different name.
That's what you say, eh Frank?
Next.
So are YOU, loon, if you think the "National Guard" existed in 1644.
POINT PROVEN!
I should have said 1636:
The National Guard is by far the oldest component of any of
the uniformed services. It traces its roots to the colonial
militia, and claims a "birthday" of 1636. By comparison, the
U.S. Army was founded in 1775 (its first units all came out
of the colonial militia) and the U.S. Air Force was created
in 1947. More importantly, the National Guard maintains a
unique "dual status" - both State and Federal - that no
other service or component has. This dual status is rooted
in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which states
that "Congress shall have the power ... To provide for
organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for
governing such part of them as may be employed in the
service of the United States, reserving to the States
respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the
authority of training the Militia according to the
discipline prescribed by Congress."

SO WHAT? Here, let me rub your nose in it again.
The Second Amendment is naturally divided into two
parts: its prefatory clause and its operative clause. The
former does not limit the latter grammatically, but rather
announces a purpose. The Amendment could be rephrased,
“Because a well regulated Militia is necessary to
the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep
and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” See J. Tiffany, A
Treatise on Government and Constitutional Law §585,
p. 394 (1867); Brief for Professors of Linguistics and English
as Amici Curiae 3 (hereinafter Linguists’ Brief).
Although this structure of the Second Amendment is
unique in our Constitution, other legal documents of the
founding era, particularly individual-rights provisions of
state constitutions, commonly included a prefatory statement
of purpose. See generally Volokh, The Commonplace
Second Amendment, 73 N. Y. U. L. Rev. 793, 814–821(1998).
Logic demands that there be a link between the stated
purpose and the command. The Second Amendment
would be nonsensical if it read, “A well regulated Militia,
being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of
the people to petition for redress of grievances shall not be
infringed.” That requirement of logical connection may
cause a prefatory clause to resolve an ambiguity in the
operative clause (“The separation of church and state
being an important objective, the teachings of canons shall
have no place in our jurisprudence.” The preface makes
clear that the operative clause refers not to canons of
interpretation but to clergymen.) But apart from that
clarifying function, a prefatory clause does not limit or
expand the scope of the operative clause. See F. Dwarris,
A General Treatise on Statutes 268–269 (P. Potter ed.
1871) (hereinafter Dwarris); T. Sedgwick, The Interpretation
and Construction of Statutory and Constitutional Law
42–45 (2d ed. 1874).3
3 As Sutherland explains, the key 18th-century English case on the
effect of preambles, Copeman v. Gallant, 1 P. Wms. 314, 24 Eng. Rep.
404 (1716), stated that “the preamble could not be used to restrict
the
effect of the words of the purview.” J. Sutherland, Statutes and
Statutory
Construction, 47.04 (N. Singer ed. 5th ed. 1992). This rule was
modified in England in an 1826 case to give more importance to the
preamble, but in America “the settled principle of law is that the
preamble cannot control the enacting part of the statute in cases
where
the enacting part is expressed in clear, unambiguous terms.” Ibid.
Really?
He thinks?
Since when?
So if they call it "The Militia of the United States".... then that's ok
too?
Except the National Guard isn't the militia of Article 1.
"Although we agree with petitioners' interpretive assumption that "militia"
means the same thing in Article I and the Second Amendment, we believe that
petitioners identify the wrong thing, namely, the organized militia." [ie.
National Guard]
"Although the militia consists of all ablebodied men, the federally
organized militia may consist of a subset of them."
Thus the National Guard is a SUBSET of the Militia, as set forth by SCOTUS
in the following quote "In United States v.Miller, 307 U. S. 174, 179
(1939), we explained that "the Militia comprised all males physically
capable of acting in concert for the common defense."
SCOTUS disagrees with your assertion that the National Guard is the full
extent of the militia.
So does federal law.
Seems like you are alone on this one Lee.
Yep, but it wasn't organized as the National Guard until 1903, until then it
would be what you call "the unorganized militia"....
traces it's roots TO THE COLONIAL MILITIA..........
The Colonial militia wasn't the National Guard, nor is the National Guard
the colonial militia. All you've shown is that the militia pre existed the
Constitution, and damn SCOTUS agrees with you. However, they disagree with
the assertion that the organized federal militia is the extent of the
Constitutional militia.

The National Guard is the modern Militia reserved to the

that the National Guard has been an organized force, capable
of being assimilated with ease into the regular military
establishment of the United States. From the days of the
Minutemen of Lexington and Concord until just before World
War I, the various militias embodied the concept-of a
citizen army, but lacked the equipment and training
necessary for their use as an integral part of the reserve
force of the United States Armed Forces. [footnote 9]
