Subject: Re: Another Win For President Trump
But who really knows? For most of the life of the nation, the 2A was treated as a collective right I think.

I find it interesting - and particular significant - that in the entire Constitution there is only one place where “a reason” is listed.

Nowhere does it say “A well informed populace being necessary for democracy, a free press…”

Or “Because there has been inter-religious strife, Congress shall make no law respecting…”

Or “The King sheltering soldiers in private quarters has caused us to prohibit…”

No, the only cause for an Amendment - or for anything, really, in an otherwise tersely written, constructed, and lucid document, is “ A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State” …

Why do you suppose that is?
