The 2nd Amendment??

[BlueStreak]

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

So, does "the people" mean individuals, or "the people" collectively, as represented by their elected state officials?

And if you do believe it is the right of the individual to bear arms, where would you draw a line as to what kind of weapon ordinary individuals can legally possess? Small caliber firearms? Nuclear Bombs? Would you draw a line?

Thoughts? Opinions?

(P.s. When I joined this group, many of you welcomed me aboard and said you looked forward to my input. To which I responded, "Are you sure about that?"
Because I fully intended to spark serious, yet civil, debate. This is not to say that that didn't already exist here. I just meant to state that I intend to throw gasoline on the fire.)
