Tyranny of the ATF

[Suppressed Poet]

The conjecture has nothing to do with the topic, you're attempting to reinterpret the Constitution in a way that both the plaintext reading and at least one supreme court ruling contradicts. How about instead YOU tell every one else why both the ruling in 2008 on Heller and how the well-regulated clause in the Second Amendment supports your belief the ATF did something wrong.

I’ve told you several times and cited the decision. Well-regulated means well equipped / trained / armed. Militia means all able-bodied men outside of formal military service. It’s recognized that we have an individual (not collective) right to keep & bear arms. Going even further, the prefatory clause of the 2nd Amendment is not a hindrance or prerequisite to the operative clause, but just gives an explanation as to why the operative clause (shall not be infringed) is recognized as a right. This was all clarified in the 2008 decision you are referencing. Heller was a major win for gun rights yet you keep referencing it as a reason for gun control.
