grayfox Wrote:The people still have the right, regardless of what an individual state may have, or what federal law may say about National guard...Sure, according to the 2A, the people still have a (considerably infringed) right to keep and bear arms, but that is a different subject.
The issue I addressed is your statement that you see "a realistic limit to what arms a militia-level citizen should be expected to show up with."
Members of the militia are defined by Federal law, not the 2A. Since they are expected to show up with no weapons, your "realistic limit" would be set at ZERO. No weapons of any kind.
grayfox Wrote:I have expressed my vote for Trump but you have not expressed any alternative name. No names. No candidate.The "mandate" is: If you criticize Trump for something he said about the 2A, you will name one or more of the Democratic candidates who you think are stronger supporters of the 2A.
What is your alternative named person or candidate? That is, I believe, the stated rules for this thread.
I have not criticized Trump in this thread, therefore I am not required to name any Democrat who is more pro-2A than Trump.
