you concede regulation to militia that subjects everyone to being defined as the militia, then you subject everyone to regulation...
your little words, not mine.
I simply can’t find any way to get across to you that the object of regulation, as the amendment is written, is the militia. I don’t favor any but that’s beside the present point. Nothing in the amentment grants the government the power to regulate arms. That is the sole point I am making. Discussion of regulating the militia or what constitutes the militia is a wholly other discussion. Have a grown up read this to you and explain it.
