(115 posts)36. That's some inventive reading . . .

Breyer is referring to 4 different propositions which described the possible meanings of the original 2ndA, of which the 2ndA individual interpretation proposition he listed first.
The four propositions are not conflicting alternatives, they are complimentary to each other and all inform as to the RKBA that is recognized (not granted, given, created, or established) and secured by the 2nd Amendment . . .
Do you really not know you are arguing a interpretation nobody attaches themselves to anymore?
The "militia right" interpretation is defunct, dead.
There was a narrow sliver of a hybrid militia qualified but individual right kept alive between 2000 and Heller, articulated by the anti-gun academic Saul Cornell in 2004 as a "New Paradigm" for the 2ndA. It posited neither an entirely "collective right" or "individual right", and it was loosely argued by Stevens in his Heller dissent and then quickly forgotten. It's funny, you didn't get that memo, that it is all over . . .
I'll give you your props, you are an original pureblood, keeping the old 1942 "militia right" fight alive like a stranded Japanese soldier abandoned on a Pacific island, with a bayonet in his mouth, still fighting for Imperial Japan.
You should be abandoning what's dead and conserving your energy, preparing yourself mentally for the utter decimation of gun control that is coming in a few short months.

The antigun activists on this site haven't the faintest interest in debating facts.
