This dangerously flawed article was written by a lazy Townhall publisher.
Well Regulated, word usage at the time, does NOT mean,
1) Not regulation
2) Not Congress “regulated”, fact is, that violates “shall not be infringed”
3) IIRC Well Regulated means accurate arms, taken care of.
Guns at the time were not rifled, so bullets flew corkscrew inaccurate.
Townhall is DISGUSTING ILLITERATE PROPAGANDA.
It is shocking that people actually get paid to write such trash.
From the net: “The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:
1709: “If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations.”
1812: “The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial.”
Yep.
10 USC 246 - Militia composition
Plus numerous case law references to "what the militia is."
