Yes ... when the Supreme Court last ruled on this ... I think they did forgot to read this part ... I think a well regulated Militia might be the National Guard or the Army Reserve.

Sure, I'll tell you. That part in inconvenient for them, like most of the constitution.

The never-ending problem with the left is that 'well-regulated' always, always means more regulated.

Any so called 'strict constitutionalist' would see that militias were formed during the musket era. Therefore the militia's purpose is no longer relative, needed, nor should be legal as such. National Guard exist for what reason? The armed forces exist for what reason?

I gotta go with Scalia and his using two different schools of Constitutional interpretation... Scalia espoused a conservative jurisprudence and ideology, advocating textualism in statutory interpretation and originalism in constitutional interpretation. Thus the disparity!

Read article 1 and 2. Tell me who funds “the militia” and who’s the commander in chief of “the militia” and then tell me if they’re talking about private citizens or what was pretty much a branch of the armed forces 2 1/2 centuries ago.
