Thanks for the reply. So am I correct that you do not think that the founders were being verbose? If so, then please state what you believe the prefatory phrase means and/or what the founding fathers intended when they included the prefatory clause.None of the other amendments in the Bill of Rights sets out a justification for the right enumerated, only the 2A. I guess Scalia just thought they got verbose when drafting the second amendment and that the prefatory phrase could be ignored as he did.
