No. Well regulated does not mean provisionedVery trueActually it gives the reason in the amendment "being necessary for the security of a free state"
We needed well regulated militias to defend our free state
Individual civilians aren't worth shit
Well regulated meant well provisioned and the militia is all the people you fucking moron. Justice Scalia explained all that in the Heller case. Only you stupid Moon Bats are in denial that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right. Stupidity like that is one of the reasons we ridicule you dumbasses so much.
Our founders knew what a militia was and without a standing army depended on them for our nations defense
Their militia was not a bunch of random people carrying guns. It was organized, trained, had a command structure
You are confused Moon Bat.
Sorry, but well regulated does mean well provisioned. The militia is everybody. Justice Scalia put that puppy to bed by very forcefully stating that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. That is settled case law in the US.
You can go into your typical uneducated Libtard denial all you want but it just makes you look like a fool..
Meaning of the phrase "well-regulated"
The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.
