Who are the Militia?

[jmg257]

56. YOU get to define the term "well-regulated"? In spite its use in several other period

documents, all describing exactly the same way as to what it means??

Like I said...bullshit.

And YOU established that 'a well-equipped militia of the whole body the people" is some thing real - and it MIGHT be, but a "well-regulated militia" is something very different, as shown in the constitution, in federal law, and as shown above re:regulation and organization and training per federal guidleines, and being uniform. One entity was and is relied on, the other is not. One is well- regulated. Any 'militia of the body of the people', well equiped or otherwise - without uniform regulations and guidleines AND TRAINING, is quite clearly no such thing (instead - think National Guard these days).


What is (well - was) thought necessary wa/is a well-functioning well-armed well trained, & uniform militia...trained and exercised often enough "to entitle them the character", to be described as "well-regulated". Those days they were state entities, these days they are a select federal militia (think National Guard).

Sorry - clearly organized & regulated is quite a bit different then "unorganized"...no matter how equipped the people are.


And just like you can't redefine words as you please...you also can't redefine how to read law...read the Heller decision on the importance of the 1st clause...it is not only an interesting observation, it also help to explain what is to follow, if there is any doubtfulness.

But the Heller decision is a ruling, so no biggie here, just that the primary purpose is obsolete, as mentioned.
