The regulated militia the states need is now called the National Guard and it isn't citizens who maintain their own weapons.Mr. Tact wrote on Sep 9, 2024, 11:48:That's a slippery slope you're going down. The Internet didn't exist when the first amendment was written, so should its protections only apply to what existed when it was written?
