The states should be regulating the militia well. Sue them in federal court when they don't.

[PurgedVoter]

Every time a state can be shown to have not managed a militia situation well, sue them. From top to bottom, the families, businesses, communities and residents should sue the state for not performing their constitutional duty. Let them decided and defend that individuals with guns are not militia. Let the silly, selfish, stupid and evil be forced to defend themselves for arguing that letting unprincipled, untrained, uninsured chicken-hawk bastards buy and play with whatever weapons they can afford to buy is how we have freedom.

1. There is no state-managed militia apart from the National Guard.

2. you're addressing the unorganized militia.

that's the thing: they're UNORGANIZED. they're not under anyone's control.

"well-regulated" means they're keeping functioning arms to bear. and boy howdy, do they.

3. The 2A has nothing to do with militias

Per Heller. The right to own a gun is a right independent of militia service. Like it has been for all of our history.

4. y'all are missing the point.

letting these "militias" form should be and is illegal.
they should be broken up by the state, and their guns taken away.
they have a duty. the abrogate it when they pass laws that let any yahoo own a gun.

i think this is a very smart take.
