The Light of Truth
Note -your- emphasis on "EVERYONE".Yes, because the state militias can do this because EVERYONE is automatically in the "unorganized militia".
False.
Your own post says so.
"I propose to state briefly the provisions of this Act. The first section reiterates the law of 1793, that the militia shall consist of every able-bodied citizen between eighteen and forty-five, and divides the militia into two classes?the organized militia or National Guard, and the unorganized or reserve militia."
If you are older than 45 you are not in the unorganized militia.
Thus, not "EVERYONE".
Nothing here demonstrates --anyone-- believed there is a right to be a member of the militia.But there is a right to be in the militia. The Founding Fathers literally spoke about it.
"but no person religiously scrupulous shall be compelled to bear arms."
Mr Gerry said: "Now, I am apprehensive, sir, that this clause would give an opportunity to the people in power to destroy the constitution itself. They can declare who are those religiously scrupulous, and prevent them from bearing arms."
So, they worried the govt would say "you're a Catholic, Catholics are religiously scrupulous of bearing arms, therefore you can't bear them" if they kept this clause.
Why would stopping individuals carrying guns around in their daily life give the people in power the chance "to destroy the constitution itself"?
You cannot prove your claim; I have demonstrated your claim to be wrong -- you simply choose to be wrong.
This has been addressed.You're dismissing what the Founding Fathers said when discussing the language that was to go into the Second Amendment. This conversation was IN THE HOUSE. We don't have Senate conversations because they're secret.
Yes. Because it did not make it into the amendment.
These conversations between certain groups of people do not quality as rational, factual or legal basis.
An "alternate amendment" that did not make it into law does not quality as rational, factual or legal basis.
Thus, you have no rational factual or legal basis
That is you, choose to be wrong.
I cannot prevent you from choosing to be wrong -- you'll do it just because you don't want the truth, you want what's convenient.
