Lohman, I dispute none of your historical observations, and you've been clear that you don't personally endorse a training limitation on the exercise of the right.

My resistance is to the idea that it would be reasonable to argue to incorporate as current limitations characteristics of 18th century militia practice. The words of the Amendment itself don't suggest that, yet it seems to belong to a family of arguments that note how things have changed since ratification in order to take an eraser to it figuratively.
