No, I tend to agree with Ty that it should be viewed with reference to what would be in furtherance of the militia. But that really isn't much of a limit, is it? Point is, it is a right granted to the people, and I thought Ty's initial post suggested only militia members had the right.

You seem to think the contours of the "right" are self-evident, while I think -- according to the actual language of the amendment -- that it has something to do with militia service.
