any competent adult should be able to acquire and posses Arms if they love them sufficiently.
Any gun lovers who love guns enough to purchase them can be enrolled in the militia to be organized and well regulated.
Kind of odd because no one "loves" guns.
They have a history, interesting varieties of operations and mechanisms, they have intricate details like a watch, collectible aspects like old cars, etc. But since guns are not alive, it is impossible to consider that interest "love".
The fact guns represent democracy, equality, individuality, freedom, defense, etc., simply makes them essential.
And while some think that just having police that are armed is sufficient, that is extremely foolish.
The Savik, KGB, Kapos, Gestapo, Stazi, etc., are what all police turn into, if they are not corrupt from the beginning, and even when they are not corrupt, they still can never get anywhere in time to protect anyone.
But you also are looking at it backwards.
Since everyone is supposed to be responsibly acting for the safety of the family, community, state, and country, everyone is supposed to be the militia, and it is deliberately supposed to be unorganized so that it is NOT centrally controlled. It is supposed to be the spontaneous will of the people as a whole and NOT dictated by any corrupt central, large, or wealthy entity. Once something is organized and controlled, it is no longer trustworthy.
You want to be able to draw on the unorganized militia in order to form organized posses or state troops for defense, but one must NEVER allow any central power to control the force of arms in a democratic republic, or else it ceases to be a democratic republic, very quickly. This is obvious even in the US, where the Spanish American War, the Philippine Rebellion, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc., were all totally illegal and corrupt murders by a US military that is already totally out of control.
The end of monarchies and the success of democratic republics are the direct result of armed populations allowing for power to actually be in the hands of the people.
Gun control of any form is in direct conflict with the principles and foundation of any democratic republic.
Gun control is not just foolish, but incredibly evil.
