A Democrat's Understanding Of The Constitution

[LOki]

Nothing in the Constitution prevents gun control.

"THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"

"A well regulated militia, necessary to the security of a free state"

Demands gun control.

No it doesn't. "Regulated" in the context of the 2nd Amendment doesn't mean what you think it means.

How can we maintain a well regulated militia without knowing who has guns and what kind of guns they have?

By requiring every household to have at least one fully functional assault rifle (yes, I mean to say assault rifle) for each able-bodied adult; by requiring the maintenance of sufficient ammunition for each of those weapons; by incorporating gun handling/safety (including actually firing the weapons) into the public education curriculum, eliminate zoning barriers for gun ranges, eliminate barriers to carrying weapons so that the people are not unduly burdened in their attempts to practice safe gun handling, and improve their proficiency with their weapons.

That's how you do it.

You're welcome.

Demands gun control. How can we maintain a well regulated militia without knowing who has guns and what kind of guns they have?

The militia is not requisite for the right.

The Constitution recognizes the vital need for well regulated militias to defend the security of a free state

Registering guns and gun owners is well within the bounds of regulating a militia

No. It is a clear violation of the purpose and intent. The ONLY purpose for registering guns and gun owners is to violate the right of the people to privately keep and bear those arms with military utility;... that would be used in the service of the militia.

The appalling ignorance of the gun fetishists is always readily apparent.

The Militia Acts of 1792 clearly regulated and registered guns belonging to We the People.

It has always been and will always be within the powers of Congress to register and regulate firearms.

From your link:
"That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years"

If you aren't able bodied. if you are under 18, or over 45, or if you are a female, you are exempt.

Also:

"The authority to call forth the militia was first invoked by George Washington to put down the Whiskey rebellion in Western Pennsylvania in 1794, just before the law granting that authority expired. Congress quickly passed the Militia Act of 1795, which by and large mirrored the provisions of the 1792 Act. The Militia Act of 1795 was in turn amended by the Militia Act of 1862, which allowed African-Americans to serve in the militias of the United States. It was superseded by the Militia Act of 1903, which established the United States National Guard as the chief body of organized military reserves in the United States."

Which kinda means that Your Militia Act of 1972 is no longer in effect.

Ask an adult to explain to you what the following means;

That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than twenty four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear so armed, accoutred and provided,

and that from and after five years from the passing of this Act, all muskets from arming the militia as is herein required, shall be of bores sufficient for balls of the eighteenth part of a pound; and every citizen so enrolled, and providing himself with the arms, ammunition and accoutrements, required as aforesaid, shall hold the same exempted from all suits, distresses, executions or sales, for debt or for the payment of taxes.

VI. And be it further enacted, That there shall be an adjutant general appointed in each state, whose duty it shall be to distribute all orders for the Commander in Chief of the State to the several corps; to attend all publick reviews, when the Commander in Chief of the State shall review the militia, or any part thereof; to obey all orders from him relative to carrying into execution, and perfecting, the system of military discipline established by this Act; to furnish blank forms of different returns that may be required; and to explain the principles of which they should be made; to receive from the several officers of the different corps throughout the state, returns of the militia under their command, reporting the actual situation of their arms, accoutrements, and ammunition, their delinquencies,

X. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the brigade inspector, to attend the regimental and battalion meeting of the militia composing their several brigades, during the time of their being under arms, to inspect their arms, ammunition and accoutrements; superintend their exercise and maneuvres and introduce the system of military discipline before described, throughout the brigade, agreeable to law, and such orders as they shall from time to time receive from the commander in Chief of the State; to make returns to the adjutant general of the state at least once in every year, of the militia of the brigade to which he belongs, reporting therein the actual situation of the arms, accoutrement, and ammunition, of the several corps,​

Right, as I've said earlier... "Regulate" in the sense of requiring that private citizens possess arms suitable for military use; that such arms are compatible with contemporary military equipment--not "regulate" in the restrictive statist anti-rights sense that superstitious gun-queers use the term.

And be it further enacted, That there shall be an adjutant general appointed in each state, whose duty it shall be to distribute all orders for the Commander in Chief of the State to the several corps; to attend all publick reviews, when the Commander in Chief of the State shall review the militia, or any part thereof; to obey all orders from him relative to carrying into execution, and perfecting, the system of military discipline established by this Act; to furnish blank forms of different returns that may be required; and to explain the principles of which they should be made; to receive from the several officers of the different corps throughout the state, returns of the militia under their command, reporting the actual situation of their arms, accoutrements, and ammunition, their delinquencies,

X. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the brigade inspector, to attend the regimental and battalion meeting of the militia composing their several brigades, during the time of their being under arms, to inspect their arms, ammunition and accoutrements; superintend their exercise and maneuvres and introduce the system of military discipline before described, throughout the brigade, agreeable to law, and such orders as they shall from time to time receive from the commander in Chief of the State; to make returns to the adjutant general of the state at least once in every year, of the militia of the brigade to which he belongs, reporting therein the actual situation of the arms, accoutrement, and ammunition, of the several corps,​

Right, as I've said earlier... "Regulate" in the sense of requiring that private citizens possess arms suitable for military use; that such arms are compatible with contemporary military equipment--not "regulate" in the restrictive statist anti-rights sense that superstitious gun-queers use the term.

As far as "register" is concerned... again, no bueno, Cupcake.

Thank you for admitting that your home schooling failed to teach you basic reading comprehension and as such you have disqualified yourself from any further meaningful participation on this topic.

Obvious projection. The emphasis you added to your support source servers only to emphasize your patent lack of reading comprehension.

You simply cannot refute my point, nor can you admit that your very own source validates my point while utterly failing to uphold yours.

You are clownshoes, Cupcake. Clown.Shoes.

You could not refute the regulations in the Militia Acts so instead you resort to spurious insults. That is a tacit admission of failure on your part.

Have a nice day.

You are transparent in your strategy to conflate the meanings of the term "regulate" to suit your retarded notions of what the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights says.

Well regulated, information from one of your previous posts.

Men, between the ages of 18-45.

NO women
NO males under the age of 18
NO males over the age of 45.

Which excludes many that fall under the designation "the people", as in "the right of the people shall not be infringed.

Cupcake, you remain Clown shoes.

More importantly for the comprehension-challenged, it is the militia that's to be well regulated, NOT the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

So, even if in some retard universe we're to be obligated to accepting your intellectually dishonest usage of the term "regulated", you're still misapplying the term in order satisfy your authority-hugging fetish.
