"A WELL REGULATED MILITIA BEING NECESSARY TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" that it, 28 words.
how do you regulate something. maybe a true background check before joining. maybe keep track of your members, on a regular bases. maybe, see that they are well trained. maybe see that they are in a good mental and physical shape so they my serve when called on. maybe see that the weapons are stored and maintained properly, so they may be useful when needed, and not to be a hazzard to unknowing children, mentally or emotionally troubled people or the general public. maybe see that the weapons that are kept, are useful for there purpose. it says nothing about hunting. noting about bearing arms out side of said militia's duties, nothing about conceal carry. nothing about open carry. nothing about not using fed dollars to study gun violance. nothing about NOT overseeing that the guns that are produced in and imported into the US, are of a save design.
how can each of these help? true background check. not this 72 hr. bull shi!!t, that merchant can pretty much toss after short period. best of all if it's not back in 72hrs you still get your gun.
keep track of members.. well we would know who is on our side, how many we have. do we need more. maybe we need to recrute some more abled bodies. check that there up on there training. check the mental and emotional state. see if they have gone to the dark side of the law. so we can through them out. see that the weapon is stored and maintained properly, to be usefull when needed. to keep track of out weapons so that they may not be funneled to a anti state or government group who will do our union harm
i know this seems a little overboard but what we have is not working for our society as a whole. guns are the only merchandise that is not subject to any oversight of it's general safety. no under writers label or UL label. the only item sold in the USA that is not subject to a general safety review. that's why we have these millions of cheap saturday night specials on the streets and in the homes, that cost under $50. these are a majority of the guns that kill the people in accidents in the home and in unneeded violence in the street, . yes drugs are a part, yes ,fatherless homes are a problem, yes, or education system is a problem yes our welfare state is a problem, yes our tv is a problem . yes our music is a problem. yes the internet is a problem. yes our social media is the biggest problem of them all.
if you think that our founding father could foresee these issue taking hold in our society, along with foreseeing the advancement of our firearm technology, to create the killing machines we have today. and that they would not think ,this is not what we had in mind 240 years ago. you have your head in the sand or up your azz. sorry if i come off as an smart a?z. but if all people are created equal. my right to live free from persicution and live save in ones person, equals your right to bear arms, PERIOD.
