Hi @piersmorgan, where did the Founding Fathers EVER write or indicate that 2nd Amend wasn't intended to include individuals' right to bear arms? Or that well-regulated militia excludes individuals? If you've got a piece of history somewhere that we haven't seen... please share!https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/980933796957626368 …
Well @piersmorgan doesn't understand that armed citizens are the constituent elements of militias, like iron and carbon atoms are the constituent elements of steel.

Former Justice Stevens was right in his op-ed the other day: 2A was interpreted as a state right for two centuries before the NRA's push for an individual right culminated in the Heller decision. The rights of individuals as militiamen aren't the same as individual rights...

That sounds about right to me :) also wouldn't a modern day militia have a right to modern weaponry?
