:confused: Huh? You say I'm incorrect, then cite Presser, which says the same as I did -- that the people are a reserve militia.
Quote:Additionally, here are the words of the 2A:

"well regulated" meaning trained in firearms use...
Not quite. It actually meant organized and trained for military operations.
Quote:"necessary to the security" meaning it does no good if the people have guns but don't know how to use them (or bullets to fire from them).
Incorrect. "Security" refers to maintaining the territorial integrity of the state and well being of its citizens, not to marksmanship training or access to bullets.
Quote:Finally, Cory is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in that the Bill of Rights was put in place to protect the PEOPLE from the Federal Government...
But, where does the 2nd Amendment say anything to that effect?
