(1,937 posts)this will probably be flamed to heck, so i'll preface with 'gun owner', former 'military'
2nd "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
keywords now: "RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS"
keywords that could be more important in the future: "WELL REGULATED MILITIA"
Merriam webster
Regulate:
: to set or adjust the amount, degree, or rate of (something)
: to bring (something) under the control of authority
: to make rules or laws that control (something)
Militia:
a group of people who are not part of the armed forces of a country but are trained like soldiers
how many gun owners today match 'trained like soldiers who are organized and under the authority of someone(chain of command and responsibility)'??
were minute men just running around unorganized? no!
How about
militia license (at same time you get the gun you sign up to a 'preferred list' so when the armed forces needs recruits, they can call you and you can't decline) AND/OR mandatory TRAINING and QUALIFICATIONS (regular)...see...that'd be a "REGULATED MILITIA"
