What did the Founding Fathers mean by that? We don’t have to guess because they told us. In Federalist No. 29 of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton explained at great length precisely what a “well-regulated militia” was, why the Founding Fathers thought we needed one, and why they wanted to protect it from being disarmed by the federal government.
...
It should be a properly constituted, ordered and drilled (“well-regulated”) military force, organized state by state, explained Hamilton. Each state militia should be a “select corps,” “well-trained” and able to perform all the “operations of an army.” The militia needed “uniformity in … organization and discipline,” wrote Hamilton, so that it could operate like a proper army “in camp and field,” and so that it could gain the “essential … degree of proficiency in military functions.” And although it was organized state by state, it needed to be under the explicit control of the national government. The “well-regulated militia” was under the command of the president. It was “the military arm” of the government.
thanks, perfect
Hamilton described our National Guard above
today we have anti-federal government radicalized right wing domestic terrorists attempting to create their own non-regulated militias for political purposes
traitors all
Nothing you said denied the reality that gun regulation does not deter the violent use of firearms.....as criminals will exist if there was not one firearm on earth. Your bloviation concerning why YOU LEFT Chitcago…..refuted nothing that exists in the reality that surrounds you. Simply look at all the murder capitals in the United States.....all have been regulated to hell and back concerning the 2nd amendment right to self protection and weapons ownership....ALL are LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE examples of leadership. All the violence targets minorities but is never reported on a national level. Why? The "white" elites that rule the democrat party.....could give a rat's ass about human rights, its all about political power.
