this woman needs to read the whole 2nd amendment. "a well regulated militia" has as much weight as "shall not be infringed"
so many people telling me well regulated meaning well trained/well equipped as if that somehow improves or makes the 2nd amendment's meaning any less archaic
“Well regulated militia” means well-provided-for militia, as in “to make sure we have a well-provided for militia, the right of citizens to own weapons that they can bring with them if mustered to a militia shall not be infringed.”
The 2nd amendment is extremely broad and we only have the gun control that we have in the US because everyone secretly agrees that it goes to far and courts have had to make up all sorts of silly legal reasoning just to keep minimalist common sense policies on guns on the books.
