No, it means that the government can't arrest you for being part of a militia, not necessarily a state. I mentioned state, but I meant any local government.

Also its a pointless arguement, since the 9th amendment gives you the right to bear arms as well.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

How exactly?


The 2nd amendment was written to allow local governments to fight off a overbearing federal government in case the government decided to become England-like. No one is denying you the right to own a gun unless they've been banned by your local government (I own a handgun,) it was written in the time of musket loaders.

I want biological weapons.

Can't have those they're too dangerous.

I have the right to bear arms. Arms is defined as any offensive or defensive weapon.

There needs to be restrictions, anthrax is only used to kill people.

What about AK-47s?

Well we can't restrict those.

You really go duck hunting with machine guns?
