Note, I'm saying you have the individual right to keep and bear arms
for defense of the state. The 2nd is clear about that.


No,All the 2nd says about "well-regulated militias" is that they "are
necessary to a free state"(like saying its a nice thing),and it makes no
requirement to be IN a militia to have the RKBA,places NO such restriction
for RKBA to be used only in defense of the state,and CLEARLY says the RKBA
is the PEOPLE's right.
The SAME "people" as in the 1st,4th,5th amendments that are also INDIVIDUAL
rights,and widely acknowledged as such.
The Founders had no concept of any "collective" right that only could be
exercised enmasse.
IOW,the militia is only one reason for gov't to NOT INFRINGE on the
people's RKBA.They simply could not list every reason for the RKBA.

  • Re: Best Draft In Pats History
    ... The fact of the matter is that Belichick said himself that when Graham got hurt towards the end of last season they had to change the entire offensive gameplan to compensate for not having a second starting TE, which led to more 3 WR sets. ... They won a super bowl with Samuel and Gay, and Hobbs pretty clearly was a major reason why the defensive secondary went from being porous for most of the season on that side to being a solid group. ... There aren't any other teams in the league that have a 3rd CB better than Gay or Hobbs, unless the player was drafted this weekend. ... The pass defense was bad last year for a couple reasons: 1) the pass rush was bad for a good portion of the season; 2) After early injuries, they never really found the right CB until Hobbs emerged -- before then, it was Starks, Scott, etc; 3) The defensive playcalling was as vanilla as I'd ever seen it under Mangini -- unfortunately, that didn't change until Belichick got more involved in the defense; 4) They never compensated for losing Rodney until Hawkins was moved to safety. ...
