what is the militia in the 2nd amendment?
keep and bear arms
"heller" was a landmark case because for the first time in united states history a supreme court decision defined the right to bear arms as constitutionally guaranteed to private citizens rather than a right restricted to "well regulated militia[s]". the justices asserted that sensible restrictions on the right to bear arms are constitutional, however, an outright ban on a specific type of firearm, in this case handguns, was in fact unconstitutional. the heller decision is limited because it only applies to federal enclaves such as the district of columbia. in 2010 the scotus expanded heller in "mcdonald v. chicago" incorporating the 2nd amendment through the 14th amendment as applying to local and state laws. various circuit courts have upheld their local and state laws using intermediate scrutiny. the correct standard is strict scrutiny review for all "fundamental" and "individual" rights. on june 28, 2010, the u.s. supreme court struck down the handgun ban enacted by the city of chicago, illinois, in "mcdonald v. chicago", effectively extending the heller decision to states and local governments nationwide. banning handguns in any jurisdiction has the effect of rendering invalid any licensed individual's right to carry concealed in that area except for federally exempted retired and current law enforcement officers and other government employees acting in the discharge of their official duties.
