Thanks for pointing out again your view that "militia" referred to those who knew how to handle weapons. That helps show why it wasn't a blanket "right" given to just anyone.
Please, stop contorting yourself into a pretzel in a pathetic attempt to drive that square militia peg through the round hole of the people. It is excruciatingly painful to watch.
Do I need to post the Founders and authors of the Constitutions own words again?
You are fighting a battle that was lost more than 220 years ago...a lose that was reaffirmed with Heller.
Pay attention or don't comment. I was pointing out how CS tried to explain that "well regulated militia" was referring to people who knew how to use guns. That would mean the 2nd didn't give a blanket right for everyone to own guns. We also know it was illegal for certain people to own guns at that time so that is further proof the 2nd does not say what some are claiming. By all means, post the words of the founders that you think presents the strongest evidence your interpretation is correct.
Also, do people know what militias were in the 18th century?
Nice try at verbal gymnastics, keep it up, you might actually convince someone with an IQ of 65 or lower that you are right.
And yes I know, militias in America during that time period consisted of all able bodied men in the location where they were called up, providing for the common defense using their own weapons.
