What is a Militia?

Pointless sniping is so easy that I may snipe you now and then. It's cute watching you pound your chest like King Kong over your own cleverness.

Dunno.. I'm new to it. And you've got such a head start.

I think the crown is yours, honey.

Well then. No need for you to just keep surrendering and sobbing endlessly, then. Eh? Or are you thinking you're really going somewhere with this dance? Wasn't your "point" about how "insubstantial" my participation is? ;)

Almost didn't post this, since it has nothing to do with the subject of a militia, and it is totally unscientific. But after voting myself I was completely astonished by the results, scientific or not they are overwhelming. I thought it did portray the general consensus of the public (call that the "common sense" being bandied about by our local combatants) on the true meaning of the 2nd amendment.

Carry on...as I'm sure you will.

Holy moly!   97% of the USA today readers realize that it is indeed an individual right?

Bet the government stooge and his liberal journalist friend who started asked are both shaking in their boots over the result of that poll.

I am surprised but gratified..  It seems my faith in my fellow citizens is not entirely misplaced.

over 350,000 votes and only 1% did not feel that it was an individual right.

The brief is divided into three main components, arguing:

1) The sophisticated collective rights view of the 2A (exclusively military context)...approx. 24 pages

What I have been saying and the longest argument.


2) Jurisdictional issues - the 2A applies only to states (and thus not DC)...approx. 5 pages

I was saying this as well


3) Reasonable restrictions don't violate 2A...approx. 18 pages



1st  2 out of 3 arguments

I think you have proved yourself unenlightened :D
You should study a little more so you can fully acheive an understanding of what this is about. Tunnel vision does make it eaisier for you I understand....but geez the guy still rowing as he goes over the waterfall.

Sorry, I don't think you've understood the situation even now.

The brief does not address the question as the Supreme Court framed it.

Focus on that. The SC framed the question to be answered by both sides. The DC brief DOES NOT address the question the SC asked.

Got it yet?

Again, you need to search out and READ the question the SC is asking in this case.

Hope that begins to enlighten you.
