Presser v. Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 (1886) - This second post-Civil War era case related to the meaning of the Second Amendment rights relating to militias and individuals. The court ruled the Second Amendment right was a right of individuals, not militias, and was not a right to form or belong to a militia, but related to an individual right to bear arms...
Right of "individuals".
Is that where you were going?
I get it. Guns kill people. So does alcohol. I have had both family and friends killed in alcohol related accidents witnessed an alcohol related accident that killed two people. Why are we not talking seriously about alcohol control? Motor vehicle accidents kill approximately as many people as gun violence. Overdose of illegal drugs kill approximately the same number.
But guns are bad. No, a lot of things are bad and a lot of things kill people. Guns just get the most attention.
