Gun Control & RKBA

I infer thanks are appropriate in both directions for several issues:
* "...protects only the ownership of military-type weapons appropriate for use in an organized militia." Since the 2A is a personal and individual right, it is the personal and individual right of "the people" to keep and bear military grade weapons.
* You imply that you don't understand the implications and duties regarding doing your own research in that: "The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon.

In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense." This decision by the court is arrived upon based on the evidence presented. You're quoting the prosecution's argument not the court's decision. Since it is beyond the purview of a judge to bring evidence to the court and since the neither defendants nor counsel appeared, the decision rendered draws solely from the points argued by the prosecutors and existing relevant laws.

And further, my argument:

How does a right become a duty? Where is the term "duty" found in the 2A?
FYI: I did my own research; it doesn't and it isn't.
