Title 10 I believe it is called is clear,it STATES all able bodied men 17 to 45 are part of the militia.No, actually we are not all the Militia, anymore.Hey did you know, we are ALL the militia?It most definitely is! Read the amendment and tell me you did't see that very phrase.That pesky "well regulated militia" part has to be taken seriously.
Otherwise, keep the second as it is. But make sure gun owners, importers, manufacturers and sellers stop selling weapons that belong in a well regulated milita, not on the streets.
That pesky "well regulated militia" part has to be taken seriously.
Why?
It's not pertinent to the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
At the time the Constitution was written, all men, of fighting age, were the Militia, not women or children, and this was because our government did not have a Standing Army, and the Militia would be called up, from the armed citizenry.... it is NOTHING AT ALL like it was when the constitution was written.... Now we have a Standing Army and Standing Air Force and Standing Marine Corp, etc etc etc and Standing Navy and Coast Guard and National Guard etc... THEY are the Militia, and the Military can arm themselves with grenades and nukes, and drones and bombers etc, but we the people are restricted of such or have further restrictions on such/licenses, because we are no longer relied on with our own Muskets, to fight in Wars.
This does not negate our right to bear arms, for food and safety, but we can not own weapons such as nukes....meant for the Militia.
But did NOT mean men over the age of 45, men physically incapable of belonging to a militia, or women, were not allowed to have firearms.
