| Taking the grammatical, historical, and legal aspects into account, it is very clear that the right to arms is an individual one. If it were not, neither would the right to be secure in persons and property. The term "people" supports this interpretation and not the collective rights view many think it would. The history leading up to the Second Amendment points to an individual right to arms, especially based on English history and legislation. And legally, the court has several times alluded, to if not outright said, it is an individual right. |
