13. It certainly doesn't include Laurence Tribe's view anymore.
He used to argue along the same ACLU lines -- until 1999 when he conceded that 2A was an individual right protected by the Constitution. Funny, I thought the Miller decision discussed militias as bodies which when called up, could require the individual to bring his/her own arm; sort of a BYOG affair. Doesn't this suggest that this right is protected; indeed, an antecedent to the militia? In any case, 2A (as part of the Bill of RIGHTS) doesn't seem to enjoy the "protection" of Ducks Unlimited forums; hence, the dank clanking hallways of ...the GUNGEON!
