Too many forget the well regulated phrase in the 2nd Amendment, so regulate and move on!

PO1 Jeff Chandler Yes you should, for instance the town drunk couldn't serve in the Connecticut militia in 1780.

PO1 Jeff Chandler Ah but it was about a militia. Back then there was a great deal of doubt about the federal government being able to stand up a functional army. So the founders laid it upon the states to arm and stand up militias but most states lacked the funds to arm so militia members brought their own arms. Even with that it wasn't until around a hundred years later that the Supreme Court interpreted that the wording meant every citizen could be armed.

To understand the meaning of the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution, we have to put ourselves in the minds of the founders in 1789.

Have you always been daft? The left don't give a fuck about dead Americans either or they would shut down the southern border. Ya know where tons of Fentanyl comes into the country. That shit kills thousands more Americans every year then guns do. Lefty lunatics are the death of America.
