Not according to the Founding Fathers.

Actually, the training part is correct. The license part is not. Well-regulated back in the day meant well-trained and equipped.

Yeah, the 2A part is specifically addressing the "equipped" part, not the "trained" part. "Well-regulated" meant (among other things) that the militia could be "turned out" with little notice and be already equipped with their own private weapons.

Ironic that the libtards are screeching about "weapons of war" on America's streets. The right to own & bear "weapons of war" is exactly what the 2nd Amendment guarantees.

I interpret that to mean it is desirable for the militia to have some training. Because it's obvious that an untrained and disorganized militia is probably not the best armed force to defend a nation.

However, no individual was ever required to have training in order to purchase and own a gun, or even to belong to the militia.

Why? Because first and foremost we are a free people and that right must be respected over all others and cannot be trampled upon. We are nothing without freedom.
