Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)A well regulated militia? [View all]
I've read here that the well regulated clause in the 2nd Amendment refers not to laws and rules but to the smooth operation of the militia like a clock that runs well keeps good time.
I've also read here that the irregular militia is every male of military age who is armed and available for service.
Given that:
Between 15,000 and 20,000 members of this militia commit suicide every year,
Between 10,000 and 15,000 commit homicide,
One of the militia kills a female companion every 16 hours,
This militia allows children under the age of 5 access to their arms so often that close to 1,000 of them is killed or injured with a militiaman's gun,
And it is increasingly evident from all the gun cleaning accidents that many of the militia can't maintain their arms,
Can we really say that the militia is well regulated and operating in a way envisioned by the authors of the 2nd Amendment or should there be adjustments made to the operation of the militia to make it more well regulated?
