"In modern English, it says that since militias are the foundation of securing the State, the right of all citizens to own and carry arms can't be screwed with in any way."

What you mean is that since militias are the foundation of securing the State, the right of all citizens Militia members to own and carry arms can't be screwed with in any way.

Come on. If Militias are indeed the foundation of securing the State, why protect that right for an 85-year old woman? That makes sense to you?

Yes, we protect her RKBA today. But for different reasons. Not because she's the foundation of our security.

You didn't need to reword it, I wrote just what I meant to

It sure does. If her son is off forming up with other citizens from his town, she may well have to "hold down the fort" at home in his absence. During WW2 a good many older guys formed local security watches with arms provided by themselves while most of the young men from their towns were over seas.

Besides, the point is your multiple definitions for "the people" comes straight from your arse. In your world, "the people" has a new meaning for every use of the phrase.
