The Second Amendment and the Right to Bear Arms

The second amendment was intended to prevent the creation of a select militia at the expense of the ability of able bodied citizens to be armed. In many states, you're going to have a right to bear arms in your state constitution that's going to be broader than the federal constitution. The purpose may be so that people can form militia, but the right is the individual right to keep an bar arms. And i also think it's interesting how a various, although certainly not all, state constitutions are even more clear in the way in which they talk about the right toBear Arms.
