The modern world is not the world for libertarians.

 

[Plagerist]

The modern world is not the world for libertarians.

What does that even mean?

 

[ding]

Not what regulated means.

Well regulated was a common phrase back then. It meant to be in proper working order. When the constitution brings up regulations it specifies the who, what when of the regulations.

The modern world is not the world for libertarians.

Not sure the founders were necessarily libertarians in today's sense of the word. While some of their views could be considered liberal in the classic sense of liberalism, I'm not entirely convinced their desire for limited federal government necessarily aligns with today's libertarian party who is more than just that. They are admittedly amoral when it comes to the affairs of the rest of the world. Maybe our founders would have been too but we'll never really know. They never had to address that problem.

The people are the militia because their armed, not, they're armed because they're the militia.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

And each governor can call in the unorganized militia to organize and regulate it.

Disarming the militia is the absolute antithesis to "well regulated".

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Who said anything about "disarming the militia." Any Governor can order it to assemble so it will be "well regulated."

It's the law, Wild Bill, and you can comply or be punished.

You are no tough guy at all and would be dealt with if you waved a firearm at anyone. You see, that works two ways.

what does "well regulated" mean??

What does "well regulated" mean, and could it have meant anything different in the past?

What does "well regulated" mean? Especially in relation to, say, a militia? Would this definition have been different some years ago - say in 1776?
