Original Note:

A 2008 Supreme Court decision states "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia" https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/05/john-paul-stevens-court-failed-gun-control/587272/
