My dear Dan, you are missing the point. I agree the right is individual. I agree with Emerson and the DOJ [wait did I agree with the DOJ something must be wrong ]. The SCOPE of the individual right you are advocating is what I have issue with. The scope of the 2nd Amendment does not contemplate unrestricted open carry. It does contemplate unrestricted ownership of arms. It does not mandate what you allege it mandates see infra.
Now, if you argument was something to the effect of, an officer rightfully carrys a sidearm ergo I should be allowed to do so, I could see it, but that is not what you are saying. You are saying it esentially requires an armed populace for national defense.
"Taking my interpretation of the Constitution mandating an openly armed citizen for the Common Defence. All laws that denigrate the Common Defence through the Second Amendment violates the protection clause of the Constitution. Personal Security Enhances National Security."
The unresolved argument of the Tenn case and Miller is what is not properly militia weaponry.
The adoption of weapons which seemly all violate NFA for the army seems like a good target. The M-16 is clearly of use for militia, yet is effectively banned under NFA. Handgun bans etc.
