Wasn’t trying to be contentious.

Was just my quick response and looks like a few others saw it the same way.

we’ve been this road before and your 10 year old or 65 year old won’t be in a militia.

The original militia called to arms on The Green at Concord were comprised of farmers, frontiers men and other types.

when the regulars meet the militia on the green, to disarm them, they had enough sense to range the militia by 400 yrds, the outermost of effectiveness for Kentucky & Pennsylvania rifles.

The regulars Knew better than to engage closer, as their arms were, at best, effective to a mere 50 yards.

You know the story but, when that skirmish over most those guys went home and that fight was over.

But, for the Red Coats, it was “Game On” or war, to put down the rebellion.

once they had lost more men than they were sending over, the British sued for peace.

I guess to bide time, as they marched again in 1812.

Once again, the farmer, the frontiersman and sport shooters rained down on the British.

yeah, good for us. They wore red twice making them easy targets but, even during the Civil/Great War our best sharpshooters came from the private sector.

much like today, when I go to the range, by far the worst shooters are cops.

I sometimes wonder if they are just acting stupid . There’s enough you charge them with conspiracy.

There was a town in the 1920’s, Texas I believe, where the sheriff and his deputized henchmen were running a town for their own nefarious enterprise.

One day the town showed up armed to the teeth. They arrested the Sheriff and his chump deputies, tossed em the town jail and eventually charged them with various crimes.

after it was done, they elected a new sheriff and went home.

the point is, the power and rights are spelled out in the Constitution. They are personal and unalienable.

if the requirement to impair prosecution, was membership in an armed service, it would be impaired for failure to serve.
