Reply #309: the three [View All]

My question was how is "EVERYBODY IS THE MILITIA" bullshit?

1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers.
2. A military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency.
3. The whole body of physically fit civilians eligible by law for military service

The definitions you provided taken together sure sounds like all qualified citizens could actually be MANDATED to be armed, I know I sound kind of stupid - it's for two reasons, one I've never really explored the issue and for another you come across so angry and arrogant that its hard to get what your message really is. That may be my fault, if so I am sorry, if on the other hand you are just a trouble making jerk, well I can play for a while.

So I have to go read the second ammendment's exact words again and see what I think. In the mean time I'm not sure you really explained how the concept that everybody is the militia is bullshit. At least not by the definition you linked - maybe in your own words? (and while I don't have a real problem with swearing, it is more effective if not done every time one says something....)
