The 2nd Amendment will never be repealed.

86. everyone armed with pitchforks

dscntn: If you eliminate those under 17 and those who would be too old for service, you would be close to the number Madison gives in #46. I restate Madison's intent that all free white men young enough to serve, would be armed.

What has this to do with unorganized militia today? the post of mine you replied to?
Madison was referring to white men in a well regulated militia, not the Unorganized militia of today.

Why couldn't you have put that down to begin with rather than your vagueness, not mindreaders on here. You made it sound like madison was saying what patrick henry said.
So what's your point anyway? that madison envisioned a totally armed militia? (which proved unfeasible).
Madison didn't explain where all the 600,000* militia would obtain firearms tho, altho he didn't actually say they needed firearms; pitchforks & pikes could suffice, if not broomsticks.
* (I've previously pegged it at 600,000, or ~20% of total population was 'the people' referred to in 2ndA).

I'm not seeing the relevance of what Patrick Henry said to Madison's meaning.

.. the relevance is that it appears you were quoting patrick henry when you meant james madison, since you used very similar words to patrick henry (duh). You really didn't get the connection?

Maybe the relevance app on your iphone is corrupted.

If I'd ever had one you might have had a point.
