"Every federal appeals court in the country, except two judges on the Emerson panel, has rejected the NRA view, and has held that the Second Amendment does not provide individuals with a right to possess firearms absent a relationship with a state militia," according to a statement from the Brady Campaign.

They can't point to a single cases that supports that statement.

Nope. The Miller decision isn't even a U.S Supreme Court directive as to how the Second Amendment holds in respect to the RKBA. In fact the Second Amendment has been the forgotten amendment in the Bill of Rights ligitation.

Our Constitution says what it says, not what temporary, elected office holders and Black Robes say it says, so long as we retain our Bill of Rights - not much longer IMO. Corrupt socialism, aka fascism, is thriving in America throughout our ruling class. The rights of the people stand in their way, but our liberty is being interpretted away.
