A diagram of a sentence? Who ever heard of such a thing? Looks like mumbo jumbo, hocus pocus stuff. LOL!

Chris Hayes in the Goth Boy of the Left.

He’s a deranged, dishonest nitwit. He really has no place in a rational society.

Would you stop watching Chris Hayes? You’re doubling his viewership.

The people who don’t understand it, simply don’t WANT to understand itt.

"Well regulated" meant well-trained or well-drilled in the 18th Century parlance. That's why professional troops were called "Regulars".

Training is a good thing.

Chew on this for awhile ignorant emoboy:

“shall NOT be infringed”

Here's what the Founding Fathers said about “militia” and the 2nd Amendment:

“I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” – Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 14, 1778

“Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them”
-– Federal Farmer, Anti-Federalist Letter, No.18, The Pennsylvania Gazette, February 20, 1788

“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves… and include all men capable of bearing arms.”
- Letters From the Federal Farmer to the Republican, Letter XVIII, January 25, 1788

“No free government was ever founded, or ever preserved its liberty, without uniting the characters of the citizen and soldier in those destined for the defense of the state…such area well-regulated militia, composed of the freeholders, citizen and husbandman, who take up arms to preserve their property, as individuals, and their rights as freemen.”
– Richard Henry Lee, State Gazette (Charleston), September 8, 1788

“[W]hat country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” – Letter to William Stephens Smith, November 13, 1787; The Works of Thomas Jefferson, Federal Edition (New York and London, G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1904-5) Vol. 5

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!”

THE UNABRIDGED SECOND AMENDMENT

It’s all posturing. The people who pretend to want you to join a militia in order to own a firearm would be the first to completely freak out if you actually did.

Seriously, a Court that has John Roberts as a member will never be restrained by juxtapositions and definitions of words.
