as farmers, homesteaders and business man fightng for freedon of over-regulation from a government across the atlantic, do you thing the first thing they want is regulation by a new government. NO.

a well regulated militia at the time and still today refers to a group of civilians whom are armed, trained and supplied by their own intiative. it also means these individual citizens have educated and practiced enough to form a cohesive combat group if they see fit ( not if the government sees fit). The US military is a standing army which even the founding fathers were ardently against.

read a bit more VALID words of SUBSTANCE and PEDIGREE with the utmost VIGOR.
