    Yeah they do. It’s the national guard, which is pretty well regulated.

    Well regulated in this sense means kept in good order, the term “regulations” to mean “government restrictions” didn’t exist at that time.

      A definition that millions of gun owners also fail to meet. How exactly does a militia made up of morbidly obese, mentally ill men with no demonstrable ability to safely handle or use a weapon count as “in good order”?

          Are all gun owners members of the National Guard? Are people in the National Guard expected to bring their own guns?

          Sounds to me like you’re just pretending that the National Guard is the militia mentioned in the second amendment when it’s clearly not.
