It IS an individual right. Period. And it's been held up in court case after court case. Not sure whether you're a lazy American or an uninformed-for-good-reason Canadian, but no, that's false. There are some excellent long-format examinations of that history, but for a short version you can learn the history here. “A fraud on the American public.” That’s how former Chief Justice Warren Burger described the idea that the Second Amendment gives an unfettered individual right to a gun. When he spoke these words to PBS in 1990, the rock-ribbed conservative appointed by Richard Nixon was expressing the longtime consensus of historians and judges across the political spectrum. Twenty-five years later, Burger’s view seems as quaint as a powdered wig. Not only is an individual right to a firearm widely accepted, but increasingly states are also passing laws to legalize carrying weapons on streets, in parks, in bars—even in churches. Many are startled to learn that the U.S. Supreme Court didn’t rule that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to own a gun until 2008, when District of Columbia v. Heller struck down the capital’s law effectively banning handguns in the home. 1 Quote

However, your assertion that 2008 was the first time (and implying some change to previous interpretations that don't exist) is inaccurate. In fact in 1939 United States v Miller, confirmed that a citizen had the right to own a firearm if it conformed to regular militia firearm standards. The only reason Miller gave for upholding the National Firearms Act was that a sawed off shotgun was not regular military equipment. It did acknowledge that, had the gun conformed to military standards, the possession of the weapon would have been legal. Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?

I showed that the 1939, Miller ruling affirmed the right while denying a set of weapons. You didn't show anything. You waved your hands and made a claim--about the 2nd amendment and the Miller case. You provided neither evidence nor argument. And you're claim itself is false. The truth is basically the opposite of what you claimed--that's why a Heller was a big deal. Miller continued the expectation that gun ownership was fully in the context of a well regulated militia, not a distinct individual right, and self defense was an insufficient justification. Justicia Primary holding "Only weapons that have a reasonable relationship to the effectiveness of a well-regulated militia under the Second Amendment are free from government regulation." And that's not just what weapons can be owned, but it also clearly makes when and how a person is armed subject to regulation--not as an individual right, but in the context of a well regulated militia. Individuals can keep and bear arms, but the right is constitutionally protected only in the furtherance of that goal. Federal and State law were able to regulate everything in that context. Again, you can learn the history or not. But it should be obvious that there wasn't a decades long legal strategy and battle to achieve something that you claim was settled in 1939. 🙄 Edited November 1, 2025 by Hodad 1 Quote
gatomontes99 Posted November 1, 2025 Author Report Posted November 1, 2025 3 hours ago, Hodad said: but in the context of a well regulated militia. No. That isn't what that means. The ruling stated that weapons that are similar to what the militia uses are acceptable. From your own link: Quote The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon. The rest of the ruling reaffirms the individual right, and in some cases duty, to own and be proficient with a fire arm. Face it. You were wrong. You probably relied on bad information.

From your own link: The rest of the ruling reaffirms the individual right, and in some cases duty, to own and be proficient with a fire arm. Face it. You were wrong. You probably relied on bad information. You are wildly misreading this. The second amendment says the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose enabling a well regulated militia. That was never in question. Miller rejected the idea of an individual right to bear arms outside of the context of a militia. You can read the significance of that anywhere. And you can find a dozen sites to explain why that individual right wasn't established until Heller. That's why it's a landmark case. From the NRA, celebrating their decades-long effort to effect that change: "State by state, issue by issue, NRA-ILA changed the face of American firearms law and made political fortunes rise and fall on candidates’ Second Amendment records. Its grades and iconic orange postcards became synonymous with grassroots political activism. The shift peaked in 2008 with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, which invalidated D.C.’s handgun ban. It became black-letter law that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, independent of service in an organized militia." Miller was in stark contrast to the conception of the 2A as an individual right. And it left wide open state and city options for regulating gun ownership. You want a gun for home protection? Not protected. You want a gun to conceal carry? Not protected You want a gun for sport shooting? Not protected. You want a gun just because? Not protected. Heller is when that changed, and the 2nd amendment shifted to an individual right, independent of militia. Quote

No, it didn't. Nowhere did it explicitly reject the notion of an individual right, but it did speak to that right regarding the relevance of a militia. Even then, you are talking about a case from 1939, when sitting here trying to discuss what the 2nd Amendment meant, which we would need to go back to when it was written. 23 minutes ago, Hodad said: And you can find a dozen sites to explain why that individual right wasn't established until Heller. That's why it's a landmark case. It didn't need to be. Heller affirmed, it did not establish it as an individual right. It isn't like for the last 200+ years individuals had no right to firearms and then all of a sudden Heller came along and BAM, now they do! No, you clowns keep pushing for more and more harsh firearms restrictions and this was pushed to the test and Heller AFFIRMED the right that people like you kept trying to take away. Quote

The purpose of the second amendment was to have a body of people that were proficient with weapons to draw upon in times of war. Miller was wrong to say that only military grade weapons were included. The 2A had nothing to do with the type of weapon. Further, the 2A specifically states that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. As I started out saying, you didnt have a need for a 2A SCOTUS ruling that expressly stated there was an individual right to own a gun. That right was expressly, and clearly stated in the 2A. Miller affirmed that right almost 70 years before you swore up and down that the first time the SCOTUS made that ruling. Your implication that the 2008 ruling some how changed the 2A to give individuals the right to own guns is absurd and thoroughly debunked. 1 Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?

Establishing the 2nd as an individual right was the whole point and purpose of constructing the case as it was constructed. “On June 26, 2008, … the Supreme Court unambiguously held, for the first time in history, that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms.” (Cato Institute) But you keep on thinking your thoughts and ignoring the facts if that's what you're into.
