My fear for all of us rests on the phrase “”well regulated “ as in “well regulated militia.”

My legal worry is that a SCOTUS could hold that “well regualted” means subject to regular call-up, officers in a chain of command, ie. the National Guard.

My problem as a lawyer is, I could argue the other side’s case far better than I wish I could.

Would that we met before the bar with an opponent using that as legal argument.

Doing any of that would change it from being a militia into one of those other aforementioned entities.

Obviously it is not in the jurisdiction of the court to manufacture a military organization out of whole cloth and then force every state to organize such an idea.

At that ruling, I would laugh at the court.

BTW, thank you for your post, and happy Thanksgiving! 8^)
