The law, which was set to take effect Jan. 1, would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places, including public parks, churches, banks and zoos.
If you want to be willfully ignorant of what the founders were referring to then go ahead but it doesn’t change the fact that under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
I don’t give a shit what the intent was. Look at the text. Are you part of a well-regulated militia? No? Then stop cosplaying as a real soldier. You can enlist in the guard if you want to have pretend time.
At the time, “well regulated” meant “well equipped”. And a militia is made up of regular citizens who are called up to take arms against an invader, like the minutemen. There’s nothing about a militia that implies they have any sort of formal training.
But don’t take my word for it. Read the federalist papers, they were written by the same folks as the bill of rights and go into great detail about what they intended.
I see so non-citizens are not part of the militia and hence can’t own guns? So permeant residents can’t own a gun?
You did say citizens.
Regular means what exactly? Be exact. Does it mean cops as well? How about vets? How about the elderly? How about people who could never possibly serve due to medical conditions? What about prisoners?
That kinda lip won’t be accepted by your commanding officer in your well regulated militia. I still don’t know why you don’t just enlist in the guard if you want to cosplay as a soldier.
What right is that? The bill of rights talks about a well regulated militia. So unless you are part of one I am not sure where you are coming from.

I don’t give a shit that you can’t parse English properly, commas matter.
See, that’s the same structure. The part after the comma stands on its own and the part before is there to explain what’s up.
It’s a natural right for everyone, the Constitution simply recognizes it and protects it.
Those three words aren’t in there by mistake. You can play games with commas all you want but that will not make those three words vanish.
You are not in a well regulated militia.
The words don’t need to vanish, they are perfectly fine. They just don’t mean what you think they do.
Fine. What does well regulated militia mean. I want an exact definition that handles literally every edge case.
It means Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold.
But for real though, you’ve already been told in this very thread. Do your own research if you’re genuinely curious how you’ve got this so wrong.

Whoops, looks like I broke him
Answer the questions please
don’t be petulant
Do you talk to your fellow militia members that way?
I’m not in a militia.
Then you don’t get a gun. Join up with the Guard if you want one.
No. They’re stupid.

I was playing a little game of “Teenager, crackhead, or nutcase?” with this post, then I checked your history and it’s all starting to make sense
I hope you had fun playing with yourself.
