NOTE: This two part piece airs Thursday April 13th in the 5pm and 6pm newscasts. This is part of our series of reports ahead of the NRA convention in Indianapolis.People tend to know it in its most basic terms.Indiana University Mauer School of Law professor Jody Madeira knows all about the Second Amendment, which reads,"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
As the Constitution was drafted, Prof. Madeira says, the founding fathers wanted to ensure there were no threats to citizens' well-being. But now, the evolution of the Second Amendment, its current interpretations and understanding, has created a divide in the very country it had aimed to protect. The ruling in D.C. versus Heller would focus on the term"individual" and put less emphasis on the assembly of a militia."They said the second amendment was an individual right and not a right that belonged just to a group that could be called a militia," Prof. Madeira explains.
