Amendment II
“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.”

An interesting part of this is that the Supreme Court has never ruled on the meaning of “militia” as far as I can tell. Does it mean the "people" in the National Guard defending the “State”? Does it mean you and your neighbor for any (legal?) purpose?

I suspect both sides of the issue don’t want this determined for fear it might not go their way.

Best,
Grady
