Heller that the Second Amendment protects a responsible, law-abiding citizen’s right to possess an operable handgun in the home for self-defense. Two years later in in McDonald v. City of Chicago, SCOTUS ruled that the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments in addition to the federal government.If you research the words "self-regulated militia" you'll discover that at the time those words were used by the Founders, it meant that militia forces should be skilled with arms of contemporary military utility and relevant military tactics. In every other instance where the term “regulate” is used, or regulations are referred to, the Constitution specifies who is to do the regulating and what is being “regulated.” However, in the Second Amendment, the Framers chose only to use the term “well regulated” to describe a militia and chose not to define who or what would regulate it. It did not mean the usage of arms should be regulated by the federal government. |
