(2,708 posts)glenn to icon: .. the unorganized militia does NOT consist of all individuals. It consists of members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard, but it doesn't include anyone not fitting into part 'a'...
Some posters on here, glenn, aren't the sharpest knives in the cutlery set.
You replied to a red herring from icon, which has little to do with the 2ndA collective/indiv argument & especially not what Madison meant, since the unorganized militia code (aka dick act) was written in 1903 iirc, after the original militia system (1792) was declared worthless & obsolete by teddy Roosevelt. The unorganized militia code replaced the militia act of 1792.
icon to glenn: Your entire line of argument is moot, thanks to the unorganized militia......which you are obviously unfamiliar with
Your line of argument is smoot, since the militia code of 1903, the unorganized militia, fails the 2nd admendment litmus test, in that, by definition, an unorganized militia is not well regulated. Thus the militia code you posted, the militia act of 1903, cannot possibly be what Madison intended when he wrote the 2nd amendment.
So you could say that approx. 98% of americans could not belong to the militia which james Madison envisioned when he wrote the 2ndA.
Anybody got a knife sharpener?
