johnston: Story didn't write the 2A. George Mason did.

Here the past 40 years I thought james madison had written 2ndA. Another typo?
Your remark 'story didn't write the 2ndA' means what? people have opined on the 2nd amendment for centuries now. Story clarified the contemporary ~1825 meaning, if you weren't too blind to see.

Mason wrote this in Virginia Decl of rights 1776, which I don't see how it helps you: That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free State; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

Mason's 'who are the militia' quote pertained to militia, not individual rkba.

DoJ amicus brief to 1938 scotus re 1939 miller 2ndA decision: The second amendment to the Constitution .. {2ndA} refers to the militia, a protective force of government; to the collective body and not individual rights

johnston replied: .. which the court rejected and is accepted only by those who never bothered to research it.

According to who, you? Where you pulling this cr*p from?
The 1939 supreme court INCORPORATED the DoJ amicus brief into their pro militia ruling in miller. They did not 'reject' the brief.

J: "Possession and Accusation License". -- gong: P & acquisition license.
johnston: Yes it was a typo with my phone.

Blame it on alexa; so then you didn't understand it completely now did you? or you'd'a caught it.
