As I said in #45 above:
It became accepted (in the late 1700s) that the best solution (for events of insurrection or needs of national defense) was a militia. At that time, one of the meanings of "well regulated" was effective and working properly.
The Militia Act of 1903 listed as the reserve or unorganized militia as consisting of every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age who is not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.
Both Nuclear Unicorn and Lizzie Poppet often have wise and insightful words to offer.
Please feel free to discuss, debate and/or disagree as you see fit without fear of flames from at least the pro-gun side.
Many on the pro-control side are reasonable as well.
