#10 AI overview:
Well-regulated militia" in the context of the Second Amendment refers to a well-organized, disciplined, and capable body of armed citizens, not simply a group of individuals with guns. It emphasizes the importance of a structured and effective militia for the security of a free state, rather than individual gun ownership for personal reasons.
The elephant in the room regarding that theorem is what the founding era legislators actually did regarding what AI posits.
With the two Militia Act of 1792, the Act of 1795 and the Act of 1808 the militias were not established as "well-organized, disciplined and capable body of armed citizens." Instead, the Acts simply defined a "group of individuals" and mandated that the group arm themselves with guns, ammunition and knives. en.wikipedia.org
That is the irrefutable evidence of the Founders intent regarding a "well regulated militia."
It takes some real dumb a**es to come up with the "what abouts" thrown out so far. Apparently, the idiots can't discern the difference between pooling resources for a common goal and mandating unconstitutional racial and ethic requirements to participate in the common goal.
