Our Constitution is both gender and race neutral; the People are the Militia.
only a section of the People are the Militia.
Hopefully, someday you will learn that.
When will you learn that the People are the Militia. Only well regulated militia are declared Necessary.
You confuse natural rights with the security of a free State.
And the words "well regulated" mean regularly functioning in a timely, efficient, and practiced manner.
It could not mean restricted or controlled because the Bill of Rights is only to limit federal powers.
And even if it did mean controlled, the implication would have to be state or local control, not federal.
A common misperception by the right wing; wellness of regulation for the militia of the United States must be prescribed by our federal Congress.
Wrong.
Clearly the whole point of the 2nd amendment is to bar all federal jurisdiction over weapons.
The intent had to be for all weapons jurisdiction to clearly be given only to state and local governments.
Congress gets no say at all.
As to the word "regulated", look at other places it is used in the Constitution.
For example, the federal government is authorized to regulate interstate commerce.
Did that ever mean to restrict?
Of course not.
It always meant to prevent restriction by any individual state.
It meant to facilitate the functionality of interstate commerce.
{...
Article I, Section 8, Clause 3:
[3]
[The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
...}
It is clear that individual rights are the only source of authority in a democratic republic, so things like interstate commerce can not be legally impeded by government for no reason. Any regulation has to be only to facilitate. While that is less clear with weapons because weapons can also obviously cause harm, the use of the same word, "regulate", is instructive.
