...it would add a new requirement that they be "capable of acting in concert for the common defense.''

Not sure I like this added restriction. Some gun-grabbing libtard could come along and impose a physical/mental requirement on "acting in concert" with other militia and standing military units. Of course the libtards would pick the psychologists and criteria for mental acuity. Also, while the physical requirements for our military seem to be eroding, I'm sure the gun-grabbers would impose excessive requirements on mere civilians since there would be "extra strain in rapidly bringing together disparate militia units" or some such nonsense.

——”Not sure I like this added restriction,” you said.____

The definition of militia must be legally defined, and it is defined now as anyone 18-45. How do you propose to improve it if not to expand the definition to include those older who might be able to help? You want the word “capable” removed from the language of the bill?

The idea is to provide a way for the court to rule in our favor. The language “capable of acting in concert...” ties the definition to a clear and comprehensible purpose for the militia. I can see why the attorneys put it in. How would you fix it?
