But the second amendment refers to a "well regulated state Militia"

No it doesn't. It doesn't mention state militias at all. It only says that a well-regulated militia (specifying neither local, state, nor national) is necessary to the security of a free state.

Because militias are necessary for such freedom, the right of the people to keep and bear arms isn't to be infringed (so that the people will be able to form a militia if necessary).

You seem to lack even a child's ability to parse simple English. Assuming that you are still in grade school, you should probably try to concentrate more on your education instead of wasting peoples' time by posting such silly assertions.

"No it doesn't. It doesn't mention state militias at all.'

Correct. I said it refers to state Militias.

"It only says that a well-regulated militia (specifying neither local, state, nor national) is necessary to the security of a free state."

Correct again. And to what Militia is it referring? A different Militia than what is mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8 -- you know, the one with officers appointed by each state?

"Because militias are necessary for such freedom, the right of the people to keep and bear arms isn't to be infringed (so that the people will be able to form a militia if necessary)."

Correct again. That's three in a row!

"You seem to lack even a child's ability to parse simple English."

Bzzzzzt! Well, three out of four.

You have no reason -- zero, zilch, nada -- to believe that the Founders were referring to anything BUT a well regulated (organized, armed, and accoutered) state Militia. Cite for me just one reference, one quote, one sentence that the Founding Fathers were referring to a local or a national Militia.

Without that reference, what you're doing is called "trolling" -- posting something outrageous in order to get some kind of reaction. I note that you also followed that with an insult, which tells me you have no interest other than to disrupt the thread.

Go away, little man. Or the mods will make you go away.
