(17,757 posts)Or, easier than that, simply define the phrase, "well regulated militia" in 2A to more closely align with its meaning when the amendment was written. I am a plumber, not a Constitutional scholar, but, I do not believe that a "Well regulated militia" includes
drug gangs, white Supremist, or toothless rednecks training to overthrow the legitimate government in order to Make America Great Again. I could be wrong...But I have a little more faith in the wisdom of our founders than that.
It is all academic anyway. No one has the courage to challenge a nearly 20 billion dollar gun and ammo business. It is far easier to just pray for the families of the victims. Our gun problem is like a runaway train, breaks gone, screaming down a mountain, the only thing that will stop it is the huge crash that is coming.
