Yes - I was listening to the radio (710 KIRO) the other day when the host emphasised the "well regulated" part he made it out that it was not a individual right to self defense.

A caller pointed out the Washington State constitution specifically calls out the right, as does at least 35 other state constitutions - apparently States have misunderstood the 2nd for centuries. :-)

The operative word is "centuries". What may have been appropriate a century or two centuries ago may not be appropriate now. That's true not just for guns.......it also true for slavery, a woman's right to vote; child labor; discrimination, education, etc.
