I would really like to know which "Well-regulated militia" this woman belonged to, was going to belong to, had belonged to that warranted her having a weapon.

/me settling back and getting ready for the following false arguments

  1. The 2A says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed - despite the fact that they are in fact legally infringed all the time

  2. "well-regulated" means in working order, not actual regulations

  3. a militia means "all the people"

  4. something equally stupid

I have always thought ac "well-regulated" meant a militia that was well trained and commanded.

The gun crowd has assuned it to mean "just works well together"

All towns had a militia. Being a dude who owned land and could vote meant you were in. I don’t think they let hobo Jo have a gun back in the day. And the certainty wouldn’t have allowed anybody to own a gun that you could take down 10+ people with if you had 2 hrs of training.

/and gtfo with Girardoni rifle technically being able to shoot more than one person.
