Way back when, anti-gunners realized that they couldn’t repeal the second amendment. So, they decided to change what it meant. They formulated the end result from there and then worked back to achieve. Trouble is that the collective rights mythology was so twisted that if everyone bought it then its unintended consequences would have been quit amusing.

Heller pretty much ended this Creation Science. Says Scott Bach:

That such a question was even the subject of controversy, or that there were dissenting Justices, is a sad testimony to the state of our nation. It is also a testimony to one of the worst hoaxes and frauds ever perpetrated by gun ban extremists: the phony claim that the phrase “right of the people” really means “right of only those people in state militia service” when firearms are involved.

There is no basis for such an assertion. Yet for years, those unable to legislate the Second Amendment away have shamelessly pursued a scheme to interpret it out of existence by convoluting its words and rewriting its history. They have actually argued, with a straight face, that one provision of the Bill of Rights doesn’t really apply to all Americans – just to some Americans.

In fact, the collective rights mythology is even going down the memory hole at The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership’s website.
