If you read the article, you would see that the English expert is confirming the original intent of the second amendment. He is saying that the right to keep and bear arms is an absolute right of the people, and that the “well-regulated militia” phrase is not a prerequisite to enjoy those rights.

Sorry but the Constitutional language is only stating what HAD BEEN ACTUALLY PRACTICED EVERY DAY by the people for 180 years up 1780`S. Thus it is not a present tense statement but a HISTORICAL STATEMENT OF FACT of the bearing and keeping any kind of weapons by the people- IT IS CALLED PRECEDENT which in LAW is stronger than any present tense sense of wording interpretation.

viz “He is saying that the right to keep and bear arms is an absolute right of the people “ should read “
“ that the right to keep and bear arms HAS BEEN from the foundation of America in 1609 an absolute right of the people.”

viz 2- my ancestor in 1644 had a musket which he gave to his son who still had it in 1666. My grandfather had a civil War musket which he was given by his father, which I have shot. My uncle had a English sniper rifle, an MI carbine and a BAR which he gave to his son, now in possession of his grandson. My grandfather had an Italian pistol which same grandson has. My cousins have ak47`s from Vietnam handed down from their fathers.

POSSESSION IS 9/10 of the LAW.
Second Amendment IS THE LAW.

Words have no meaning unless you have indisputable historical possession
of the item described by the words.

If you have an unbroken chain of possession of guns, then the Second Amendment is a historical record of FACTS of the past, pointing to the present and the future.

Thus the Second Amendment can be supported by historical facts, requiring no defense for so-called” interpretation” of the words therein.

Gimme a break

Before drivers` licenses were invented people drove cars all over the place WITH NO LICENCES!!=HISTORICAL FACT-

FACTS are stronger than the piece of paper because the paper is supported by cold steel bloodied by my ancestors for 400 years.
