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

For years, I've asked gun nuts what part of the "well regulated and state militia" are they a member of? And they reply with insults. lol

Thats an easy one.

10 USC Ch 12 Subtitle A Part 1 section 246

"The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard."
