5. Scalia only read the part he wanted to read

His opinion dismissed out of hand half of the second amendment related to militias, and mentioned the words "well-regulated" only once to reach his tortured, pre-ordained conclusion. But then, that's what passes for sober jurisprudence in the United States nowadays where legal Lilliputians like Scalia pen opinions grounded on the ether of their own warped world view without recourse to inconvenient reality.
