Quote:2. According to a ruling by the supreme court in 1930 something. We the people are the militia the 2nd Amendment refers too.I think you'll find that "the people" are considered a reserve (unofficial and unorganized) militia. The 2nd Amendment addresses only "well regulated" (official and organized) militias.
Quote:3. The Bill of Rights has nothing to do with a national military or limiting the rights of the people. They are there to limit the power of the Federal Gov, protect us citizens from a tyrannical gov., and when necessary guaranteeing the people the ability to act when the gov. becomes tyrannical, as the founders believed it would.The 2nd Amendment says no such thing. To the contrary, it says that the purpose of the militia is security of the state. And IIRC, elsewhere in the Constitution armed rebellion is made unlawful.
