Then the founding fathers should have said ‘Militia’.
It doesn't so you Statists can choke on it, okay?
How's about we make a deal with the Statists, that if they push this too far, incrementally chipping away at this right – paperwork for every firearm transaction, registration..
That after we send them off to one of their favorite Statist utopias like Cuba, North Korea or Venezuela, we PROMISE to rewrite the 2nd amendment just as:
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
That should make all of us happy – they can exist in a third world Statist h*ll hole and we don't have to hear their moronic talking points about militias and such, problem solved.
In order to REGULATE (keep in check, challenge) the militia, the citizens have the right to keep and bear arms for that purpose.
