Zone1 Well regulated militia

[Delldude]

It does not say "organized militia" but "well regulated militia".
And back then, the wording "well regulated" means practiced and fully functioning.
Like in a "well regulated" clock.

I agree.

 

[Rigby5]

where did it list only one??

"arms" is plural,,

When the 2nd amendment says:
{... “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.” ...}
It only gave one justification for denying federal jurisdiction.
That an armed and practiced Militia is necessary for the security of a free republic.
But there obviously are other reasons as well.
They were mentioning how the defense of country would be dependent upon the ability to quickly call up an armed militia.
But you also want an armed population for crime, pirates, subversion, and lots of other reasons as well.

 

[Delldude]

are you saying the 2nd A is no longer the law of the land and has been repealed??

Waiting for your concise informed reply.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

That is ridiculous since the "well regulated militia" is everyone in a republic.
And the fact a "well regulated militia" needs firearm access without federal interference is not the ONLY reason why the feds were banned any firearm jurisdiction by the 2nd amendment.
It is just ONE of the many reasons.
But the 2nd amendment only listed 1 because you only need 1.

It says I have the right "to keep and bear arms' which means more than one.

I saw a comment on YouTube which sums it up -

In the UK one of the freedoms we don't have is the right to bear arms, and in all my 66 years I've never met a single person who actually wants that particular freedom, especially when we've seen the effects of that 'freedom' in America.

 

[Crepitus]

So I'm taking it that means I'm part of the well regulated militia

Why? Just because you want it to mean that?

You all wanted it damned badly in 1940 when the Germans were twenty miles away. You were begging for American arms then. No one has even contemplated invading the USA since 1812. I believe it was Yamamoto who said if Japan invaded the USA there would be a rifleman behind every blade of grass. Armed people are free people, disarmed people are subjects.

It would seem they consider me still part of the armed forces if my ID card says indefinite.

How should I take it?

It is easier to burn the house down and fill in afterwards than digging a grave first.
