One of the issues missing from the 2010 platform for conservatives, visit web libertarians and independents is how our authority is backed as the sovereign under our system of self-rule. In the U.S., search the government is not the sovereign, approved the people are the sovereign. As with all nations, the sovereign has a monopoly on all lethal force. This includes civilian oversight of the military, supervision of law enforcement, the right to self-defense, defense of another, and powers of citizen arrest.
More than a theory of interpretation, the second amendment’s words of art in well regulated militia meant every single adult be armed, since the concept of a national guard was not contemplated for another 130 years after the signing. In that new nation of self-rule, well regulated meant self-regulated. Today, United States Code recognizes the armed citizen as the unorganized militia, duly recognized and affirmed as not answering to the Commander-in-chief. U.S.C. Title 10, section 311.
