Gun Control & RKBA

The Amendment does not grant a right but recognizes the prior existence. True for all rights.


Note the wording, adult male inhabitants to possess arms.
Not the militia, not to keep the lock under government control but to possess.

I am not, as you seem to think, arguing there was prior to Heller a ruling that there was and individual right to bear arms. There was not. My point is that there never was a ruling that ownership of arms was dependent upon militia membership.


I will make note of these references. It shows by Court rulings and DOJ briefs that statements indicating ownership of arms is solely dependent upon being a militia member or the idea that the arms must be kept under government control is pure fiction. Thank you for this.
