"Your definition of Militia is not the definition that was in effect when the Constitution was written back in 1789.
That 1789ish definition, & the writings of the Founding Fathers, & the Framers of the Constitution, stated simply that each/any person of age, able to fire a firearm, & able to come to the common defense, is in & of themselves, the Militia, when they combine with others they are then a combined Militia. The Militia therefore can be made up of as little as one person, or as many as can be assembled.
Regulated in 1789 simply meant trained to a level of competency, or calibrated as in a watch or other piece of machinery, to perform properly."
A "militia" has a Constitutional right to form and with use of firearms if they citizens see a viable threat from government tyranny. That is what the 2nd Amendment was all about not carrying a god damn AR-15 or a HK93
What type of weapons would a well regulated militia have?
I think AR-15 is the exact type of weapon a well regulated militia would have.
Around 300 firearm homicides every year in the USA from rifles which include assault rifles,over 6000 firearm homicides with pistols every year.
The statistics show pistols result in far more deaths than Ar15's in the USA.
Please, don't be taken in by the left on what a well regulated militia is or isn't Baron....
In America, according to the Constitution's original intent (of the intent of its authors) a well regulated militia is
any one person, or group of persons, of proper age, able to fire a firearm correctly & has had training, & that continues to train in firearm use, that is capable of assembling in behalf of the common defense, is a well regulated militia.
It is not the National Guard, or any other such organized, professional, or governmental military force.
The type of firearms, it has been ruled by the Supreme Court, can be an equivalent of those commonly used by the military.
Remember one of the most important & legitimate reasons why citizens arm themselves is self-defense.
It's not merely to shoot clay targets, deer, or feral animals, even though they can be used in that way for enjoyment & to put food on the table.
Not just for self-defense from a criminal (mugger, rapist...)
which is absolutely legitimate mind you, but more importantly self-defense from a tyrannical government.
It is a historical fact that this century alone, more citizens/people have been murdered worldwide by their own governments , then have been recorded killed in all the wars of time.
That's not paranoia, or tall tales to frighten anyone, it's a fact, pure & simple fact.
In simple terns, as originally defined by the Founding Fathers, & by the people of their time: Well Regulated = trained to a point of proficiency.
Militia = any one person, or group of persons, of proper age, able to fire a firearm correctly & has had training, & that continues to train in firearm use, that is capable of assembling in behalf of the common defense.
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials"
One of the authors of the US Constitution, & Founding Father
"A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
, First President of the United States of America
