I've always thought the 'well regulated militia' language in the Second Amendment was the open sesame to sensible gun regulation.

yes, that's the clause that is ignored by those who believe the Second Amendment bans all gun regulation. The NY Times article is debunking the concept that apparently some militia members have that the mention of militias in the Amendment means they are OK or even constitutionally protected. Another example of my point in an earlier thread that some people interpret the constitution as meaning what they want it to mean.
