I'm not subverting anything, Milton.
I'm reading the 2nd Amendment exactly as it was written, based on reasons written in the Federalist Papers, and as interpreted for the last 70 years by the Supreme Court of the United States and the large majority of lower Federal Courts.
The only one subverting anything seems to be you.

Cripes there Sonart, are you still hanging your hat on the Miller case from 1939 involving a sawed off shot gun? Also for every case you can cite from 1789 on, one can cited that upholds the right of the individual to keep and bear arms....this whole argument has become so boring from either viewpoint.
Here are the SC cases:
GunCite-Second Amendment-The Supreme Court and the Second Amendment
And the Lower Federal cases:

and the state cases:

No matter, June is almost here, and the smart odds are the Supreme Court will rule that the individual has the right to keep and bear arms independent of the militia clause. That militia argument is very old, and very tired, and most likely will be retired by the SC this June, once and for all. Good riddens.
I'll check back in June with you...
