The second of the Militia Acts of 1792 (The Uniform Militia Act) required citizens to provide their own gunsLol no. That part specifically allows the government to call upon the very same militias the government is training using the regulations congress set.
How exactly would random people defend our country back then when it’s an area that’s not near them? How would government know to call upon them? How exactly would they win any battles if they all aren’t trained exactly the same?
Just using basic logic and basic reading skills and comprehension should put to bed any notion that random individuals would protect this nation from a foreign or domestic attack.
