hat a pitiful display of denial, unfounded assertion, and 'found' powers.

Agreed. However, I can think of ONE occasion when our Right to Keep and Bear Arms could be "regulated". While performing the voluntary duty as a called up militia. At such a point, we would be volunteering for service and likely subject to an official authority, our civilian "officers", to give us our marching orders.

But even in that instance it would be expected of us to show up bearing suitable arms of our own. The very same kind Sarah Brady and her communist sympathizers in Congress want to take away from us.

Also of note, anyone NOT volunteering should a call for the militia to form, would still not be deprived of their RKBA. The Militia Act has a stipulation for objects on philosophical and religious grounds if I remember correctly. Only those WILLING to go fight would be asked to do so.

"what a pitiful display of denial, unfounded assertion, and 'found' powers." - tpaine

"Agreed." - DC

How can you agree with that? There's no denial, there's no unfounded assertion, and there is such a principle as enumerated and reserved powers. - you'll "find" the same things in the records.
