Courts ponder the second amendment

[innerSpaceman]

The commas are there for convenience, and do help in comprehending the sentence. But remove them, and the conundrum remains. You cannot simply ignore the part about the militia. Why is it there?


Why doesn't it say, "A man's home being his castle, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?"


I'll agree with the Strangler that it's unclear as to the purpose of the militia, but it's crystal clear that the right to keep and bear arms has nothing to do with home security.

You could come up with a hundred things that keeping and bearing arms would be good for. 98 of them would make more sense nowadays than to maintain a militia.

But the second amendment says none of those things.
