It applied ONLY to guns as part of a "well-ordered militia". i.e. Any citizen not acting in a military or policing capacity has no fundamental right to own a gun.<BR/><BR/>2. It applied to all adult citizens, with reasonable restrictions for criminals and those unfit to control a weapon.<BR/><BR/>They endorsed the second view, and did so clearly. This will be significant.
