Bill of Rights basics

29. If you insist on this silliness, fine, I'll play.

Militias aren't a myth. So in order for people to be eligible for service in a militia their individual right to arms shall not be infringed.

Some may contend that militias are not currently an aspect of American defense policy but no subsequent amendment to the constitution has superseded the 2A so it remains in effect. It should also be noted that just because militias are not currently central to US defense policy doesn't mean they a precluded for all time forevermore.

Some may then argue that the law forming of the National Guard supersedes the militias but that is merely a law all laws must conform to the Constitution and no law can abrogate any part of the Constitution. Since the 2A remains in effect without subsequent amendment so too the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

It should also be noted that militias aren't always meant to be in service to the government but a guard against the government. And believe you me, from some of the nastiness coming from the anti-rights faction it is good that they be discouraged from acting on their darker impulses.

I eagerly await your next off-topic word salad --




OK, not really.
