On the contrary.  It is because we have second amendment rights that we still have rights.

On the contrary.  Read the legal definition of militia, 10US code 246, b.2. unorganized militia.  If you dispute the US legal code, your disagreement isn’t with me, it is with the legal system of the US.

 

10 U.S. Code § 246.Militia: composition and classes

*          <https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/246#tab_default_1> U.S. Code

*          <https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/246#tab_default_2> Notes

prev |  <https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/247> next

(a)

The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in  <https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/32/313> section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

(b)The classes of the militia are—

(1)

the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

(2)

the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

John are you resorting to racism now?  The others are every race in the USA between the ages of 17 and 45.

 

>…nut jobs…

 

John you are the one arguing we don’t need a second amendment, not those you label as nut jobs.

 

>…marching around…

 

The militias do not march.

 

>…and pretending to be soldiers…

 

Nor do they pretend to be soldiers.

 

>…just because some jerkwater politician writes a law that says every male between 17 and 45 is a member of a militia does not make that a reality…

 

That makes it the law.  If you disagree with it, an option is to run for office and work to change the law.  Until then, it is the law.

 

John I do urge to stick the topics on which you have actual demonstrated knowledge.
