<p>Part of the justification of gun ownership is self-defense or personal protection. I think the framers were simply referring to that justification in a collective (it takes a village) sense when they mentioned a well-regulated militia.</p><p>To me, the contention that the framers were allowing a right to bear arms to those in the army seems ridiculous. That is because the tradition of organized militias has been that if they want you in one, they grab you, put you in the militia, and put a gun in your hand whether you want to participate or not. You don't have a right to refuse a gun in an organized militia, so why would you need a right to have a gun in an organized militia?</p>
