[QUOTE="Jagger, post: 422693, member: 16628"] [CENTER][SIZE=3]A well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of each state respectively to organize arm and discipline its own militia, shall not be infringed. [/SIZE][/CENTER] [I] Tucker said the Second Amendment meant [B]"that each state respectively should have the power to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining it's own militia, whenever congress should neglect to provide for the same." [/B] [/I] In other words, Tucker interpreted the word "people" to mean "each state respectively" and "keep and bear arms" to mean "organize, arm and disciple its own militia." Doing the math, and we see that Tucker read the second amendment to mean, [I][INDENT][B]A well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of each state respectively to organize arm and discipline its own militia [whenever congress should neglect to provide for the same], shall not be infringed. [/B][/INDENT][/I] It doth appear that the great Saint George Tucker put the "collective right" construction on the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear. [/QUOTE]
