Courtesy of Brett Belmore, commenting on an 2nd amendment issues over at the Volokh Conspiracy:
To properly understand a bill of rights, one must realize that having one is an expression of distrust in the government. The Second amendment exists not to facilitate whatever the government feels like doing on the subject of militias. It exists to preserve the feasibility of a militia system even if the government doesn’t WANT a militia system to be feasible.
Indeed.
