The Federalist papers are an example.
Explain me this if there is a individual right how did we regulate firearms throughout the old west for the last half of the last century?
They just ignored the amendment?
The Constitution says what it says. If the founders wanted it to say something different, they would have written it differently.
A militia is (as defined at the time the Amendment was written) " all able-bodied citizens eligible by law to be called on to provide military service supplementary to the regular armed forces."
In the context it is used, well-regulated means well armed and trained. It DOES NOT mean legal regulations (restrictions)
