Lol 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.
The second of the Militia Acts of 1792 (The Uniform Militia Act) required citizens to provide their own guns

I'm a little clueless on this but why would the founding fathers even mention militia's if gun ownership is an individual right?

1A is clear is says CONGRESS will not abridge the right. Yet people claim their 1A rights are being taken with other people complain about their speech which is NOT what 1A says.

The people that complain loudest about their constitutional rights have mostly never read them. (or don't understand them)

Correct. That is one of the most misquoted amendments we have IMHO. Just look at all the "Karen" videos on YouTube.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds makes no qualms to mock right wing talking points. Minor indirect spoilers for todays episode. Would a society to achieve an utopia world, on the sacrifice of a child? But basically the feelings of these gun nutters. Screw innocent children if that means I can’t keep my metal penis.

This is what is annoying about the gun nutters in the USA.

Pretty much every thing they are arguing against saying it won't work, etc, you can reply with "but in the other countries it works just fine" and they pretty much have nothing else to say other than "BUT MUH 2A FREEDUMBS!"
Yeah but those other countries don't have between 14 and 250 years (depending on your interpretation of before/after DC v Heller) of cultural belief that self defense with reasonable modern weaponry was an inherent right.

So where they don't have gun nutters, they don't have gun problems.

Gotcha.

Basically yes. And the country with gun nutters has a bunch of citizens that don't feel protected by their govt, so they must protect themselves... by buying more guns. It's a very American problem.

And? If they are part of a well regulated militia, then they can. Are you part of a well regulated miiltia? Is anyone in this thread part of one?

It’s amazing that he’s capable of citing the acts that layout the definition, creation, and execution of a militia and yet completely ignores the overriding context of the acts, that is that a militia is comprised of the people but is controlled by the government, both state and federal. Nothing, nothing! in the acts talk about individuals being separate from this government controlled militia and they most definitely say nothing about defending one’s own home or property. But I guess reading isn’t really their thing though.

Not to beat a dead horse...there's 20 dead 10 year olds to use instead...

buuuuuuuuuuuut.......

If you are that terrified for your own safety maybe that says something about the efficacy of the weapons being sold?

The performance of the Uvalde police department cannot be more clear as an example of exactly why the traditional NRA/gun nutters talking points are out of touch with reality and it simply doesn't matter. They. Don't. Care. They are incapable, physically, of seeing it any other way.

They have placed their faith in Lord Gun Jesus.

You need a lot more practice with logic and reason. Access to guns does not make people go crazy more frequently. It makes it easy to carry out mass shootings when people go crazy.
I need a lot more practice with logic and reason?

I was going to stay away, but mass shootings are being done by people of all age groups over 16 years of age. It is rightfully so to blame it on guns for all age groups. The problem is, when it comes to 18 year olds, people are trying to blame it on brain development, that they can't reason effectively. That is bullshit argument.

You keep beating this dead horse of discipline and decline of our youth which is just a myopic and frankly shit view. Teenage drinking continues to decline year after year. Sexual activity is declining year after year. Teen smoking is down year over year. Driving ages are getting pushed up even though teen driving deaths are down(you could argue that is working). By most statistical evidence kids are fucking puritans compared to the generations ahead of them.

We are failing *AS A SOCIETY* around failure. That's not unique to kids. Look at our adult response to school shoots. Covid deaths for the wealthiest country in the world. Lack of healthcare for the wealthiest country in the world. Homelessness. College costs. Those aren't discipline problems. I'll let you work through the why's on your own there.
Thanks for posting this. Let's talk about raising age limits and such, and your examples about teen drinking, sex, etc. That has been the solution for the American society for decades, for alcohol, tobacco, etc., Blame it on the age. Yet many other countries do not put such strict restrictions on age like we do in the US. Many don't have the problems we have here in the US. If it's truly connected to brain development/age, why do many other countries not have this problem? Or do their children develope faster than the US? That demonstrated it's a society issue, not age issue.

Just because your opinion is different and you are trying to get me to stop arguing something you disagree with does not make it a dead horse. But rather than continue, it's time to agree to disagree.

Because alcohol in moderation isn't the problem. We have it exactly backwards. Alcohol should be 18, guns should be 25.
