Gun Control & RKBA

False premise, the law creates a well regulated national & state guards militia, & classes all others as an unorganized force pool which is obsolete today as it is an all volunteer military force, there is no conscription.
You defend federal statutes as absolutely effective? wow, the unorganized militia is gonna get you, at least those afeared of that tyrannical govt.. Yes, the unorganized militia is generally a MOB. It doesn't meet, it has no leadership, no pay, no mobe point, no nothing. It's an unorganized MOB.
Why then miss smarty, do governors & presidents invariably refuse to call to arms the unorganized militia for civil disturbance? relying always on the national or state guards aka well regulated militias?
I'll tell you why, because they don't want an armed MOB of vigilantes showing up with guns galore and potentially causing or instigating far more problems than already exist, with little recourse if innocent or even guilty people get shot. Duh, how dumb can you get?
nuc uni: And just for the record -- USC 10 Section 311 states all able-bodied males 17-45 and all able-bodied females 17-45 who have completed basic military training are members of the unorganized militia.
And just for the record, why don't you retract this BS nonsense about military training for the unorganized militia. You posted misinformation, didn't you? woman up & acknowledge your error.
nuc uni: So the US government recognizes -- and even creates -- a militia without the sort of regulation you suggest.
The unorganized militia is a JOKE; was a bone to the masses by teddy roosevelt to placate & appease them as if they were actually a part of defending the country, give them espirit de corps, ha.
nuc uni: Self-defense is not selfish; it's a basic, essential human right and any scheme of government that interferes with that right is illegitimate.
And the right to self defense existed thousands of years prior to the 2nd amendment being written, & is a separate concept. To conflate the two concepts is often a far right wing tactic of intimation to the uninitiated, a pathetic tactic to elicit support for gun ownership.
