I don't know what point you were trying to make. Looked like gobbledygook to me.

Well, this WillRain guy asked me what I thought of the Second, and specifically how I interpreted "well regulated".

I remembered that Laurence Tribe based his pro gun control argument on those very same two words. And that the definition of "well regulated" is the basis for the ACLU's Policy #47 on gun control:

"The setting in which the Second Amendment was proposed and adopted demonstrates that the right to bear arms is a collective one, existing only in the collective population of each State, for the purpose of maintaining an effective State militia."

So here we have this guy in FR, asking me to interpret "well regulated", as I am arguing that the government does not have the right to prohibit citizens from keeping and bearing arms by requiring citizens to complete any sort of State required, conducted, and licensed training.

I thought that maybe I was talking to Tribe.
