Not even one page in...

I kinda hoped I could get more than one page into Justice Stevens' dissent before I found myself shouting WRONG!! But alas, that wasn't to be. I got to the 3rd paragraph and just had to stop...

The Second Amendment was adopted to protect the right of the people of each of the several States to maintain a well-regulated militia.

That just isn't true. If that were the case, then the text of the amendment would read "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to maintain a well regulated militia shall not be infringed." I rather doubt that "keep and bear arms" was a typo or that the Founders simply misspelled "maintain a well regulate militia".

Update: I had to stop reading Stevens' dissent. The stubborn, don't-bother-me-with-the-facts nonsense was making my head hurt. I didn't even get to Breyer. I took a peek at it and it looks like Breyer is merely standing on Stevens' goofy shoulders.
