What Stevens is saying is that the Regular Army which occupied Boston in 1775 and was beholden to King George was fully justified in carrying out the disarmament of the people of Boston and, on April 19th, 1775, the ATTEMPTED disarmament of the people of Lexington and Concord.

How unusual for our Founders to have insisted on a Bill of Rights which would have prevented the very Revolution for which they risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

What utter nonsense.

What utter nonsense

Yes indeed but the nonsense has a silver lining in the form of facts.

Fact : Justice Stevens agrees the 2nd Amendment is an individual right.

Perhaps even more important.

Fact : Justice Stevens agrees the 2nd Amendment does not require a citizen to be in a militia in order to exercise his 2nd Amendment right.
