No sense in debating someone who will not see the truth when its right there in front of him, in black & white.
The predicate clause is right there, in black & white. You can't wish it away, any strict constructionist interpretation of the 2A's meaning has to account for the predicate clause which establishes that the CONTEXT of the right is the need to provide for the citizens' militia - not the natural right of individual self defense.
Read it yourself. You don't need a lawyer - the thing says what it says.
edpc has it right:
I get that he’s saying without clarification, it’s subject to the whims of changing court majorities.
That's exactly what I'm saying. The right is fragile because it is propped up by the Heller opinion, and the left despises Heller and wants to see it overturned as soon as possible.
edpc raises by implication another issue - are the gun rights absolutists helping or hurting? He says they are keeping the left from successfully abrogating the natural right - but are they? Or are they merely energizing the other side by their intransigence? If Hillary had been elected, the Heller opinion may have already been scrapped by now. What's needed is a Constitutional amendment, while there's still time, and still majorities in most state legislatures to ratify such an amendment.
