In what way? Simply claiming that is a fallacy without a valid argument to support it.projecting much, right winger? both terms, militia and the people are plural and collective, not singular and individual. who is appealing to ignorance of the simple meaning of the words involved?you simply appeal to ignorance by believing the terms, the people and the militia, are distinguishable under the common law, for the common defense.Didn't even read my post, did you?
they didn't give the right to the militia, they gave it to the people.
Militia, at the time, consisted of able bodied men between the ages of 16-45.
it excluded women of all ages, boys under the age of 16, and over the age of 45, and those physically infirm.
Which is why they gave the right to the people.
and you're stuck on the term militia, and ignore the rest of the amendment.
which highlights your ignorance on the subject.
you seem to be.
Question: Would 15 year old Phoebe Ann Mosey, had she lived at the time, been allowed to 'keep and bear arms'?
She was under age to belong to a militia, and the wrong sex.
But she was far more competent than the majority of men to handle firearms.
You may have heard of her under her 'stage' name.
Annie Oakley.
the valid argument has been made, time and time again.
you choose to ignore it, and I'm tired of repeating myself.
