"As used in the Second Amendment, the words “the people” do not enlarge the right to keep and bear arms to encompass use or ownership of weapons outside the context of service in a well regulated militia."

That was my argument before. Whether you're for or against guns - and I'm for (responsible) gun ownership - and whether people like it or not, that seems to be what the words used in the Second Amendment say. Otherwise, why would the militia even be mentioned?
