You should read the second amendment. It's for a police state. I'm not joking in the least bit. However, what police state means is a little bit different from back then to today's term. I think the founding fathers were going for a more a public that defends itself and polices itself without paying people to do that. Militias can not call upon themselves, as doing so would threaten the security of a free state. The militia must be trained if called into service, which is what well regulated somewhat means. (being subject to regulation from a superior authority.) At this point, being trained means that arms rights become less, because you are more dangerous when armed than the unorganized militia. (note: once you've been called into service, it's possible for you to be called into federal service, making you part of the militia even after 45.)
Also, check out the constitution free zone, which incorporates Florida entirely. |
