Reply #27: There is no syllable in Miller about an individual right to keep ...

and bear arms" ???


Whose right to keep and bear arms do you think they were concerned with?


Was Mr. Miller a state? NO

Was Mr. Miller "the people" in a collective sense? NO

Was Mr. Miller an individual? yes! Bingo!


Whose right to keep and bear arms did the lower court uphold?

Whose (and what type of) right to keep and bear arms did the Supreme court send back down for further hearings? (Note they NEVER denied an individual right in this case, they only reversed the lower court ruling for "lack of a showing...")

They could ONLY have been talking about some sort of individual right, since Mr Miller was an individual. Furthermore, IF they had been talking about a Collective Right, they would NOT have sent the case back down for further hearings, since that determination would have settled the case.
