Gun Control & RKBA

gejohnston: Arms ownership is an individual right, by some, for self defense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_Rights_1689

johnston's wiki link above: It {1689 bor} sets out certain rights of individuals including the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment and reestablished the right of Protestants to have arms for their defence within the rule of law.

Having an unfettered individual right to keep & bear arms is not the same as having an individual right to bear arms in militia for king & country, within the rule of law - the king's rules & regulations, or parliaments. Big Diff.
The 2nd amendment's predecessor was the 1689 english bill of rights, as per scalia.

I guess it would be futile to repost what the british scholars wrote about the english meaning of 'defence' in 1689, some people's thick heads cannot be penetrated with repeated reason or logic.
hail futility, here it is: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=208465

You trying to ignore this gj? I won't let it go away till I get an explanation about this contradiction by you:

johnston: First, the Founders did n... Second, they {the founders} never wrote any gun control laws,.

and what you wrote 4/2017: We have had gun control since the founding not always for the best reason..https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=203112

Peek a boo, I see you
