I do not believe you actually know what these quotes you keep repeating actually means Especially when you write something like thisIt is all unambiguous and clear and supports my reasoning and not yours.you keep repeating that but have yet to tell me in your own words what it meansIt means what it says and says what it means. That is how Good of a job our Founding Fathers did at the convention with our federal Constitution.
Here's what you have said
"the people are the militia"
"The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia."
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."
— George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on
Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788"
"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.
The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia."
Here's what George Washington said about armed citizens
"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."
"We have a Second Amendment and should have no security problems in our free States. Don't grab guns, grab gun lovers and regulate them well!"
