The right to keep and bear arms has implicit within it the abiltiy to

It apparently had more to do with "a well regulated militia being
necessary to the security of a free state" than individual self
defense.

"It apparently"? LOL, another one who makes it up as he goes along.

It is apparent. You have a problem with a literal interpretation of the
second amendment? It doesn't mention individual self defense, I'm not
making that up.

"It apparently? Followed by personal speculation, based on a strictly
political agenda.

Why don't you look up the text of the second amendment.

apparent:
1) Capable of being seen, or easily seen; open to view; visible to the
eye; within sight or view.
2) Clear or manifest to the understanding; plain; evident; obvious;
known; palpable; indubitable.
