We DO NOT want to go down the Militia road, which would allow courts to define the Organized Militia as the national Guard, etc.
This is not really that big a decision, since the courts already have already given the Executive Branch the ability to regulate other types of weapons, such as fully automatic, over a certain caliber, etc.
The really foolish part was the judge calling a affected weapons “weapons of war.” The decision is certainly attackable on that element alone.
“We DO NOT want to go down the Militia road, which would allow courts to define the Organized Militia as the national Guard, etc.”
The National Guard is already defined as the Organized Militia by legislation.
With some exception, everybody else from about
18 to 45 is in the Unorganized Militia at the Federal Level.
The age limits for the Unorganized Militia at the State level may vary by State.
[[We DO NOT want to go down the Militia road, which would allow courts to define the Organized Militia as the national Guard, etc.]]
Correct- We want to go down the inalienable right to self protection road instead- I have an inherent RIGHT to protect myself and my family with guns and clips that are up to the task- and when you have roaming gangs of enemies- a 7 clip gun isn’t going to cut it-
