Says you.
"Fairly obviously was Justice Story speaking of one & the same entity - the militia."
You're habitually wrong.
Exhibit A:
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered..."
In the above sentence hes speaking about a RIGHT.
In another different sentence hes speaking about an entity known as a militia.
So very clearly and obviously, hes speaking about two completely different, no matter how well connected, things.
A right, and a militia, are two different things jimmy, no matter how much you and your "wall of irrelevant text" buddies try to obfuscate and spin it otherwise.
Tell me more about my naivete' & lack of understanding, jimmy.
Settled law, buddy. Too bad, so sad.
"Also read this from the para, beevul: How it is practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization it is difficult to see. Why would Justice Story say that if it were an individual rkba he was referring to?"
He was referring to the collective exercise of the right. Just because he said something about the collective exercise of the right, does not mean there is no individual exercise of the right.
And Like I said, amendment 2 protects both the individual and collective exercise of the right in question. It has no qualifiers exempting the individual exercise of the right from protection of infringement. You can argue and argue and post equivocated misattributed misinterpreted walls of garbage text til the cows come home, but you cant change that simple fact.
