Lol to people that believe this is left. This is central. You know there is a party to support these beliefs? It's called the libertarian party, Google it. You didn't have to vote for someone who doesn't represent you as a person regardless of what the Internet says!?

"Well regulated" translated from 1700's speak just means "in good working order", not meaning regulated by a bureaucracy issuing permits.

The intention was for state governors not having to rely solely on National Guardsman or Federal government, and can simply pluck a militia ran by civilians who developed a military-like hierarchy in their organization to answer to said governor of the state in order to address issues withinthe states with threats of violence.

“Well regulated” translated from 1700’s speak just means “in good working order”, not meaning regulated by a bureaucracy issuing permits.

Assuming that to be true, what does "militia" mean when translated from 1700's speak?

I hate both religon and atheism but agree with everything else Linus has to say

Edit:

I would have edited my comment to explain why but the existing downvotes would cast a negative view of any explanation I do give since people online tend to disregard comments with downvotes

Also the downvotes killed any mental will and motivation to type up and clearly think of an explanation in addition to the reasoning above

Maybe I'll come back later and edit my comment again if I actually get that mental will and motivation back but it's not likely
