What does Joyce Lee Malcolm say?

I'd be careful tossing that about when you're making it
painfully obvious that you haven't read her book.
(It's at my elbow now, care for a walk-through?)
One article by Malcolm and the man's an expert on the historical context of RKBA in America. Reminds me of college philosophy students who suddenly decode the meaning of life off the back of a cereal packet.
You definitely need more background, ag. I'd suggest Jefferson, Mason, Henry, and your own Blackstone for starters.
Note that it's "necessary for the security of a
free State" and not "necessary for the security of the State".
Run with it from there...
