"Well Regulated" refers to being armed and trained, not being regulated in what they can own or use.
Lol you’re right it doesn’t. That’s why it was pointless for you to define it as able bodied males
We don't have to sight precedent.....because you have to take the entire amendment into account.....not just parts of it that you think proves your case and exclude all others.
Moron.. we were talking about the term MILITA...
Militia members were required to equip themselves with a musket, bayonet and belt, two spare flints, a box able to contain not less than 24 suitable cartridges, and a knapsack. Alternatively, everyone enrolled was to provide himself with a rifle, a powder horn, ¼ pound of gunpowder, 20 rifle balls, a shot-pouch, and a knapsack.[10] Exemptions applied to some occupations, including congressmen, stagecoach drivers and ferryboatmen.
“Shall not be infringed” could still apply to any interpretation of a well regulated militia.
If that is exactly what well regulated militia means, wouldn’t we be defining it as who has the right to own them?Moron.. we were talking about the term MILITA...
Second Militia Act of 1792[edit]
Front page of a newspaper announcing the second Militia Act of 1792.
The second Militia Act of 1792 was passed on May 8, 1792, and provided for the organization of state militias and the conscription of every "free able-bodied white male citizen" between the ages of 18 and 45:
Militia members were required to equip themselves with a musket, bayonet and belt, two spare flints, a box able to contain not less than 24 suitable cartridges, and a knapsack. Alternatively, everyone enrolled was to provide himself with a rifle, a powder horn, ¼ pound of gunpowder, 20 rifle balls, a shot-pouch, and a knapsack.[10] Exemptions applied to some occupations, including congressmen, stagecoach drivers and ferryboatmen.
The militias were divided into "divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies" as the state legislatures would direct.[11] The provisions of the first Act governing the calling up of the militia by the president in case of invasion or obstruction to law enforcement were continued in the second act.[12] Court martial proceedings were authorized by the statute against militia members who disobeyed orders.[13]

Prior to the militia acts it was "every free and able-bodied man"
no it couldnt,,
Your talking yourself in circles... Understand the terms before you use them in a sentence.
no,, its states who can keep and bear arms,,
i have no idea what you are trying to ask
You fools should figure out what a woman is before you tackle this concept... you wouldn't understand anyway.
Okay, my interpretation is an individual citizen.
Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. Founding documents and numerous communications between the founders told us who the militia is.
FYI the government does not have a second amendment right.
We do embrace the militia movement.
