Another selective reader.


You, and Scalia, read "the people" as "every individual" and conveniently skip over the first part, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,...". Those courts read "the people" as a collective noun and, based on the first part of the Amendment, interpreted it as the individual states. How does a bunch of YeeHawdis running around the woods with their "Barbies for men" constitute "a well-regulated militia"?
