Iām not ignoring that. Iāve actually written those exact words serveral times. The people have a right to own firearms.I never said anything about government bureaucrats, I just asked a question... when the constitution says a well regulated militia youāre saying that the founders meant to say that people should be ordered and disciplined and held accountable by just anyone who feels like holding them accountable? Thatās how you think itās intended?How is order and discipline measured and enforced?I agree. The people have a right to bare arms. Now can you answer my question on what āwell regulatedā means?
It means ordered or disciplined which does not necessarily mean government controlled,
And that applies to the militia the right to keep and bear arms is clearly stated as belonging to the people.
By anyone.
You don't need a government bureaucrat to be discplined
The second says nothing about accountability.
If a group of people were to form a militia they could decide who their leader would be.
But you ignore the fact that the right to keep and bear arms belongs to the people whether they are serving in a militia or not.
So back to the discussion. If there was an unregulated militia that showed lack of order and discipline, what do you think should happen?
