The Battle for America!!

Words of wisdom from a former "anti-gunner"...

However, no one seems to be making the proper interpretation of the term " a well regulated militia"...

I've done a lot of research into this, have an Encyclopedia Britannica from the 1770's (a reprint... I did not get Ed's original copy) and have spent hours in libraries researching terms in 1700-1870's references.  In those volumes, "well regulated" is understood to mean "well armed with properly functioning arms" and "militia" implies a group of citizens banded together for general defense... "not of the Stated arms"  ("Stated arms" would be the "official" military organizations.  "not of the Stated arms" comes directly from the definition of militia from that 1770's Encyclopedia Britannica).  Now, those "banded together" were understood to engage in some form of training so that they may operate efficiently in the defense of township/etc.  Also in those times, militiamen were expected and required to supply their own arms.  The "militia" was unpaid and their service was out of civic duty and common responsibility.  Note that the "right of The People to keep and bear arms"  does NOT state "the right of the militia to keep and bear arms".  The "militia" was then and always has been intended to be drawn from "The People".  There are 4 references to "the People's rights" in the Bill of Rights... why would the 2nd Amendment be the only case where the People's rights did not reference/imply/describe "individual rights"?

If reason and logic are applied, with understanding of the language in the time of its writing, there can be no doubt of the intention of the 2nd Amendment. 

OK, boys and girls (either physically or identifying as)... you need to get all your acquaintances together and start a massive letter-writing campaign.  A bill... VERY important to all of us... has been delayed in the House committee... H.R.367 - Hearing Protection Act of 2017... looks like a tactic of " well I did MY part, I can't help it if they won't vote it out of committee..."

Subcommittee Action

• The bill is referred to a subcommittee, and placed on its calendar.
• The bill is carefully studied. The subcommittee may hold hearings to obtain the views of experts, supporters, and opponents.
• The bill is tabled when the subcommittee deems it unwise or unnecessary.
• If changes are needed, the subcommittee will meet to mark up the bill.
• Subcommittee members vote to accept or reject the changes.
• If the subcommittee accepts the bill, the bill is sent back to the full committee for approval or rejection.

02/06/2017 Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations. 

If it sits without action for much longer, it will be considered "tabled"... which is, in effect, "dead"...  certainly, some bills sit longer, but 30 days is quite a while for "no action"...
