Federalist 46 makes it absolutely clear you are wrong, as per usual. You should know something before you open your mouth Adolph. Ignorant sluts like you who spew mistruths as facts are why we have so many dumb lemmings in this country who bought the Covid myth.HHusky said:

Most people don't know the shot heard around the world was due to an attempt by the Brits to disarm the colonists. They were marching to seize arms and powder stores.
We are free because of armed men who were brave enough to say "Enough" and "Never".

Scalia treated "well-regulated militia" as having no effect whatsoever.
That's not proper interpretation of any written document.
Use your own words, Betty
Scalia was a selective “originalist”.
From Madison, you know, the guy who chiefly wrote the BOR:
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it.
You will of course try to make some tortured argument that yes, even though Madison is clearly arguing that a well armed citizenry can form a militia to defend itself against a larger centralized government, it somehow doesn't mean what the words clearly say it means because reasons. Then you will end it with Bertie or Sally or some other rapier wit quip. You are a simpleton.

"A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."HHusky said:

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun."HHusky said:

- Samuel Adams -
"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair."
