Some great 2A I read today...

[Barms 98]

On Twitter actually.   From a guy who is a lawyer so its not surpsing how crisp the replies were.   These were all new ones for me:

”what about my right to live!”   That is your right to protect your life from the State.  It does not trump another persons individual rights.

”do you keep a militia in your house”.   Actually yes, the legal definition of militia is any person over 17 not part of the national guard

”keep and bear arms has limitations, you can’t own a tank”.   Keep and bear refers to firearms you can carry and present when needed.   To bear Is to wear or present it.

Technically, I'm too old to be in either militia.  Also women need not apply (it says 'man' after all, not a general-neutral pronoun.)

Today, as defined by the Militia Act of 1903, the term "militia" is primarily used to describe two groups within the United States:

• Organized militia – consisting of State militia forces; notably, the National Guard and Naval Militia.^[9] (Note: the National Guard is not to be confused with the National Guard of the United States.)
• Unorganized militia – composing the Reserve Militia: every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age, not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.^[10]
