From hat second link:

"The reason is because the Supreme Court -- this nation's final arbiter on the interpretation of the Constitution -- has always RULED that the Second Amendment does not extend the right to keep and bear arms to individuals, but to the well-regulated militias mentioned in the first part of the amendment. Specifically, these are militias that are regulated by the federal and state governments. Article I, Section 8 authorizes Congress:
"To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions; to provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively the appointment of officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress."

That's what I say. No wonder I got better grades in English in college than 98% of all natural borns there.

Have a nice day ....gun owners. You are making minced meat of a right you are not entitld to.
