Yes, easily understood and as the Federalists recognized, easily misconstructed and misrepresented.
For 66 years the "militia right" and "state's right" perversions held sway in the lower federal courts. All
Heller did was re-affirm SCOTUS precedent on the individual right (on that point
Heller was 9-0) and slap the lower federal courts back into line.
You still want to argue defunct and disgraced theories while complaining that the explanations of why you are wrong are too long.
It must be good to be a liberal!
