Hey Kotaku! If you're going to post answers to the New York Times Connections
game every day, could you at least remove the spoilers from the headlines?
You're not the only games site going for the low-hanging fruit of
helping people cheat the Times' various puzzles, but other sites have the
courtesy of not forcing answers on you before getting the clicks they are baiting. Please follow suit. Kthxbye.

Listen, I don't think all guns should be outlawed. And I agree especially in rural areas having a gun for home defense is a very reasonable thing. But the extent to which the 2nd amendment is used to stop reasonable regulation of the gun industry is very problematic.
He knew, based upon experience, that ensuring that ordinary citizens being armed meant that militias, provided by the newly created States, could be called upon to defend the Republic. In this context, "well regulated" was more in line with "These guys are bringing their own arms and accoutrements and therefore we do not have to arm them" and militias were not standing forces. They were constituted of members of the body public who assembled to act as a paramilitary force. Without an armed civilian population, you could not have a militia at all.
