Original Note:
In DC v. Heller 554 U.S. 570 (2008), SCOTUS held, the Second Amendment guarantees an "individual right" to "possess" a firearm unconnected with service in a militia. A synonym of possess is "own". https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/554/570/ https://www.britannica.com/event/District-of-Columbia-v-Heller https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/possess
