(October 4, 2017 at 9:49 am)Gawdzilla Sama Wrote: https://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?co...recNum=846 gives an effective example of what a militia meant back in the day. The definition hadn't changed since Jefferson's time.

The problem is, the amendment uses the word "militia" as reasoning for the right, which then specifically says "right of the people", not "right of the militia". "People" pretty much covers...well, everyone.

Also a fun definition fact while we're here. "well regulated" just meant "working", had nothing to do with legislative regulations.
