[QUOTE="Jagger, post: 429545, member: 16628"] The right to keep and bear arms wasn't meant to protect the fundamental right of individual self defense. According to the Second Amendment the right to keep and bear arms is merely the means to a well regulated militia; and, a well regulated militia is merely the means to the security of a free state. Applying James Madison's principle that the means should be commensurate with the end, we should understand the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear to be limited to that which is necessary to achieve a well regulated militia. Therefore, the only people with a right to keep and bear are those are acting in their official capacity as members of an organized, armed and disciplined militia that is at all times submissive to civil authority.
