Clip from the documentary film
I've embedded a 6 meg .mp4 clip of the documentary in the "read below" section below. It will look a bit distorted, since it's created for TVs (which have oblong pixels) rather than computer monitors (which have square ones).
This segment is from the beginning of the "collective rights" section, and deals with the question of the second amendment's wording in that regard. After this segment, it goes into the history of the National Guard (organized under Congress's unlimited power to raise an army, not under the restrictions of the militia clauses), then into the origin of the idea in a 1905 Kansas case (I found the original docket sheets -- it was an appeal from a $1 fine), US v. Miller, and later federal cases, before returning with another good thumping. And all the above (most of it not in this clip) is about 20 minutes of a 1:45 movie.

It's looking good David.

Looks very solid and well thought out. Nice to see all those legal superstars doing what they do best. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

Every time you submit a comment, it reloads the entire 6 meg video. Maybe you could link it instead of embedding it in the page?
Also, your embed tag is broken so I see controller="false" loop="false" bgcolor="#000000" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'> after the video instead of just the video.

I am looking forward to the disenting views. After all, no good discussion is worth the time without alternate thoughts.
