The United States Justice Department publicly released a long document, signed by three deputy assistant attorneys general, spelling out in great detail the linguistic, historical, and case-law reasons why it officially considers the right to own guns an individual one, just like the rights protected by the First Amendment, and not merely a collective right or a guarantee that states could manage their own militias.
It's, as stated, a long document....... but worth the read. It was released in August of 2004. This may have been posted already. I've only been here since March of 2005...
Staff - I wasn't sure if I should put this here, or the Legal/Political forum... feel free to move as you see necessary.
