Their weapons need to come from somewhere...namely, their homes.
Can't do that...unless you have the right to keep and bear arms. Case closed. = Dope

That reason more or less concedes that firearms are allowed in home for the purpose of quickly forming a militia. Since SCOTUS has determined the right to bear is an individual right, is where I say the decision was "case "closed". I don't need to have or need to give a reason!

But in Heller, the 2A was found to support an individual right to keep and bear arms, and mostly for self defense. The prefatory clause about the militia, was found to not modify the operative clause, so it has no effect on the individual rights. We didn't ratify the Federalist papers, look to the Constitution and see what it says about militia, and the modern code applying that understanding.
