But that is not the best interpretation of the Bill of Rights which enumerated the basic rights of individuals not the basic rights of States.

You are straining to read a "rights of individuals" parameter into the Bill of Rights. If that's what the Framers intended, they could have said so. They didn't. It's nothing more than a dubious way of ignoring that they actually did say, "well-regulated militia." [/quote]

Yes, and the militia was comprised of able bodied citizens who brought their own weapons when called to serve.

The context is clear, agree the addition of the subordinate clause, give those who choose to engage in a convoluted argument a place to start.

Fortunately the court has the capacity to understand the context.  [/quote]

The court say so in Miller.

They saying that in Miller, short barrel shotgun improper for militia use.

[quote]In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense. Aymette v. State, 2 Humphreys (Tenn.) 154, 158.[/quote]

Are AR15 proper for militia use? The left people say is military weapon. Would appear ok by the logic of Miller.[/quote]
