District of Columbia v. Heller[edit]

It does not say only Self defense and the way it is written in the post is they ruled that it was self defense. "such as self-defense within the home" this allows for more uses of a the right to arms. It also does not state the main purpose of District of Columbia v. Heller was to "struck down provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 as unconstitutional" thus regulating the methods that a citizen wished to keep their ARMS was not up for debate. 2601:5CC:C701:8000:9196:5B69:D4F2:B63 (talk) 02:58, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Second Amendment doesn't say "self-defense", it says "security of a free state" which is state and national defense.
They also repealed the Militia Act of 1792 in 1795, revised to read repealed at the bottom. Obsolescence of the militia as time went on. 76.135.35.127 (talk) 18:24, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Militia Act of 1792 was repealed and replaced with the Militia Act of 1795. Which in turn was also repealed and replaced with the Militia Act of 1903, which remains standing law today codified under 10 USC 246. Solaran X (talk) 16:22, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed 10 USC 246(b)(1) is well regulated.
But did the 1903 Sec. 25 deregulate 246(b)(2) to the extent that it is no longer "well regulated"
Afterall the prefatory clause of the second amendment does not say:
"A well regulated fraction portion of the Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Philfromwaterbury (talk) 14:20, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
