Thread:Comments:U.S. federal judge upholds Oregon Ballot Measure 114 gun permit requirement, magazine regulations/Unconstitutional/reply (3)

Yeah, I'm aware of Heller. And I think it's wrong. If the Second Amendment is talking about Americans' rights in their individual capacity, why is it prefaced with, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State"? That seems to me to be quite clearly stating the "well regulated Militia" is the cause of the necessity of "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms". Regarding your second point, the Constitution itself acknowledges state militias elsewhere.
