Here's a perfectly good thread for you-


I want to read a well-researched, accurate thread that describes how the
rabble of individual gun owners in this country is part of a
"well-regulated militia." There's no regulation of that sort whatsoever.


Since a militia is "A private, non-government force, not necessarily
directly supported or sanctioned by its government," who the hell
WOULD regulate them?


I think you need to go back and familiarize yourself with a dictionary.

While you are at it you can read the US Constitution for the first time
or maybe the second time.


Article 1, Section 8:

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the
Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia,
and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of
the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment
of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to
the discipline prescribed by Congress;
