Supreme Court, 1939 Miller decision:.. the Militia comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. "A body of citizens enrolled for military discipline." And further, that ordinarily, when called for service these men were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time.


You claim duplicity on the part of another, while trying some duplicity of your own. You read "at the time" as "at that time", and suggest anyone that doesn't is duplicitous, without ever actually uttering those words.

You're not very good at this james, and you never were.

With obvious purpose to assure the continuation and render possible the effectiveness of such {militia} forces, the declaration and guarantee of the Second Amendment were made. It must be interpreted and applied with that end in view.


And then you post that while ignoring the fact that in order to draw from a body of people legally identified as "the people", who will bring their own arms when drawn, that the body of that group known as "the people" must not be forbidden from keeping those arms. Which happens to mirror exactly, with what the second amendment actually says.

Like I said, you aren't very good at this. You can argue whatever you like, but the facts are going to beat you every time until you start making arguments that align with them.
