Well-regulated back then meant that the militia were trained and well, regulated. Nowadays people take the literal meaning to think that the founding fathers were pro-registry.
>>32208126
You're right. The heart disease is preventable.
>>32207715
The funny thing is that by the 18th century definition the one on the right is more well regulated, as in armed and equipped.
>>32208134
>>32208203
Also, isn't a Militia that is regulated by the government an oxymoron?
>>32208161
It isnt, considering how 60% of you Americans are obese.
>>32208226

I honestly don't believe that. Not that there isn't a bit of a fat problem around here, but almost 2/3 of the country being obese? That's bullshit.

Apparently, pretty dumb. "Constitutional lawyers" like Obama (and >>32208482
) don't even seem to be able to use and apply the term "milita" accoring to it's period meaning. These pundits are either dangerously incompetent or jaust have malicious plans which require people be defenseless.
>>32207698

>>32208206
Militias are typically irregular forces mobilized by a government to provide additional manpower in a war, often defensively.
An example would be a town under attack by Indians. Since there's not likely to be a garrison of any substantial size, the mayor or equivalent authority figure could call "all able bodied men" to up arms and fight them.
>>32207748
Regulated means functioning well amd correctly. Like a regulator on a SCUBA tank keeps it from popping your lungs, it makes the apparatus "regulated".
Regulations are generally, nowadays, rules and rule books. For instance, Ay Regulation 27-10 is the one about the UCMJ. That book, if followed, will ensure that the Uniform Code of Military Justice functions exactly as it is supposed to.
So because the colloquial understanding of "regulation" means "rule books" the colloquial reading of " a well regulated militia" means one with lots of rules dictating and controlling it.
Yes, written regulations ARE necessary to the functioning of a militia, you can't just have it run wild, but "well regulated" also, literally means a militia that can do the things a militia must, by definition, do. A militia needs arms to fight battles, and a militia is by definition made up of the common people. So the common people MUST have arms, at the ready, so they can form into a fighting unit very quickly. Otherwise it is no longer a militia.

Not necessarily for a militia; theoretically the government could issue arms while it was raising the militia. However, that means that you're counting on the situation being such that the army and/or police are unable to intervene in the situation, but that the government is still capable of the massive logistical operation of arming the entire militia they're raising, in addition to providing food and other materials.
It makes more sense (if the goal is to able to call up a militia as quickly as possible) for people to have personal arms that they can bring. There is the obvious problem that modern guns require much more specialized parts specific to each model of weapon to maintain them, so you would not want to see how this non-standard militia does after a long period of service (not even mentioning the many different kinds of ammo they would need). But if you need a bunch of armed people right now to repel the British, personally owned arms > centrally supplied munitions.
>>32208482
Founding Fathers were very clear that the 'militia' and 'standing army' were not at all the same thing.
One of the Federalist papers even said that the people would never have to fear the 'standing army' so long as the 'militia' of the people was strong enough to fight against them.
>>32207738
That's not really a lot compared to drugs and car accidents.

>>32207738
Gun deaths. So is that the good deaths caused in self defense, or the bad deaths like suicide?
Moronic image.
>>32208482
except you have shit for brains and are 100% wrong. in colonial times there was no federally organized army (like that exists today). in that very strict definition, then US armed forces would be the militia. multiple revisions have occurred since, and now theres a distinct separation from an unorganized civilian militia and organized military militia.
>the founding fathers never intended random assholes to have AK's
the founding fathers said you could own humans and wield cannons. they were in favor of civilians owning the most powerful weaponry of the day. unless you have some reading material to contradict this fact, I will again re-assert the shit-like-nature of your brain

The government grants rights by promising not to perform certain actions. The "right to bear arms" simply means the government promises not to take away your guns. Without that right, you might still be able to bear arms, however the government would be free to take away your guns whenever they want.
>>32212613
Rights are not granted, they are inherent.

As a moderate pro-gunner I'll say there are some good anti-gun points but holy fuck does this one make me cringe. It suggests that if the founders of the US had access to future technologies, they would have outlawed them and possibly not have used them in wars because they'd be >>too<< lethal. Wat. Fucking wat.

Now what's funny is that, looking at the times, the one on the left is more well armed. Think about it, muskets were basically the height of firearms in the 1770's, wheres the man on the right's rifle is likely 5.56 with a 30 round magazine and semi-auto, whereas the guns used by cops are the same but fully automatic.

>>32207698
The barrel measures around 1200 kilometers in width.
Caliber is based of the width of any projectile as a percentage of 1 imperial inch (2.54 centimeters). Example being the M2 BMG having a .50 caliber or 50% of 1 caliber. This equates nicely to 1.27 centimeters/12.7mm.
-1200 KM * 1000 (From kilometers to meters) = 1200000 meters.
-1200000 meters * 100 (From meters to centimeters) = 120000000 centimeters.
-120000000 centimeters / 2.54 centimeters (from width in cm to caliber by dividing by an inch) = 47244094.489.
By comparison: The Little David mortar has a caliber of 35.984 (914mm).

>>32216756

No my friend, you are retarded. I know the federal cock in your throat is cutting off your air supply, but attempt to comprehend the following:
Certain rights are natural to humans. Things like life, liberty, freedom of expression, etc.
These rights exist in a vaccum, you would still have them if you were the only living person. Thus, the government can either infringe upon them or abstain from infringing upon them. The government deciding not to interfere isn't a gift, it's how the world should work.
>>32216756
The second Amendment only recognizes there is a natural right to bear arms, and acts to prevent the US government from taking away that right. Lrn2Civics.
