"Gun-toting advocates" make the headlines

57. "Well regulated militia" is apropos of nothing.

Your problem is either in understanding the context of "shall not be infringed", or a deep-rooted need to be obtuse.

How about you tell me by what construct you arrive at "The Government shall allow citizens to possess firearms if they are duly enlisted in a well-regulated militia".

Here's the amendment... explain for me exactly how you use each part of the sentence to arrive at your belief that I have no right to possess firearms without being part of a militia. If you won't, I'll have to assume that your need to be obtuse outweighs your willingness to define your argument.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Just for your general information; I DO belong to a militia. It's a well-regulated one too. We've been known to expend upward of a thousand rounds of ammunition on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon practicing our militia-ness.
