Thats where "well regulated" comes in. It has nothing to do with regulation. I believe it means well equipped.

Quoted:
Originally, Americans viewed a standing army as a danger to freedom.  As expressed in the debates about Madison’s Bill of Rights, a well armed and well regulated militia composed of the body of the people is the best security for freedom.

The militia is composed of all citizen freemen, and all freemen are duty bound to arm themselves.  This view is descended from the Anglosaxon fyrd of our ethnic British heritage.  The American militia is formed by two broad components: select and general.  The select militia are organized units supposed to rapidly respond to emergencies and form the core of the wider militia.  The remaining freemen are part of the unorganized, general militia.  

It is up to elected governments to provide the rules and training of the militia that make it well regulated.  Poor training and rules lacking command damaged the Americans’ campaigns in the Seven Years War, and caused hardship during the Revolution.  Americans must arm ourselves with weapons strong enough to defeat those that could be used against us by enemies foreign and domestic.

By the time the American Bill of Rights was ratified the majority of Americans were very safe from the dangers of indigenous attack or British oppression.  The Second Amendment was for the general and individual defense of the public, especially against bad government.  By the way, many American law enforcement agencies today resemble a standing army far more than a police force.

TLDR: Freedom is hard, it’s not for the lazy: suppressors, machine guns, and rockets for all.



Neat!


But can I store sarin gas, small pox, and high explosives next to my lawn mower in my shed conveniently located closer to my neighbor's house than mine?

Back then there were many privately owned warships and cannons. That's the modern day equivalent of nukes, missiles, and heavy artillery. It was the pinnacle of arms at the time.

If the 2nd Amendment was meant for defense against the government, why is that supposed purpose conspicuously absent from both the 2nd Amendment and the main body of the Constitution?

Quoted:
My liberal friend that has an AR and a bump stock will argue that, even though it says shall not be infringed, the same people that wrote the constitution also regulated the storage of gun power in buildings.  Because of this, no matter what the 2nd says about shall not, apparently any regulation is fair game.  He is also for registration even though he admits it will only assist after the fact.

Quoted:
Here's what I use with liberals at parties and such- "A well educated populace, being essential to a thriving country, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed"

Question to liberal- Does this statement mean only "well educated people" get to keep and read books?

They stammer and stutter and try a different argument.
