In reply to the discussion: What America's gun fanatics won't tell you [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)28. here is the logic,
        "people" in the rest of the BoR refers to individuals, just like it does in the 2A.  The BoR were forced on the Federalists by the Anti Federalists to protect individual rights from the government overreach.  Some investment blogger plagiarizing the same cherry-picked quotes out of context doesn't change that fact.
That the other guy was making.
What I found amusing that the comments section is better informed than the writer.

        Is that your only conclusion to the OP-ED after reading Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Paper 29?

        I'm sorry, but you just made a straw man fallacy.  I have offered no proposition at this point

        That's a given.  Articles are referenced sometimes at the top for LBN, but usually at the bottom.

        You forget that the findings in Miller were rendered moot by Heller. The same standard applies...
