17. Google "Heller", search the decision for "individual", it is that easy.

So hansberry preaches out the song & dance concoction the nra developed over the past 30 years to sidestep the miller decision, which clearly spoke for a militia interpretation.

"clearly", and yet the Miller court did not even ask whether Mr Miller was a member of any militia or was on duty at the time of his arrest.


The Aymette decsion was focused on the political right to keep and bear arms, and yet that court did not limit the right to keep arms to those in actual service of the state militia, instead they said it was an unqualified right of the citizens. Moreover, a later decision of the Tennessee court did find for an individual right to bear arms for defense of one's home, a right wihich was said to belong to the citizen as such, not as a soldier. There was a darn good reason for Stevens to avoid poking around those state court cases.

Was the NRA around when Bliss was decided? When Aymette was decoided? When Nunn was decided? How can this be?
