    We literally can’t win with you people. Trying to actually be a regulated militia is impossible with half the country against the idea, yet simultaneously mocking that same group when they do try to organize and train.

      There’s a big difference between a bunch of people doing military LARP in the woods together and ‘well regulated’.

      Your better argument is that such militia should have some kind of regulatory body that they can point at to be defined as ‘well regulated’. We’ve already learned through every corporation every that a company regulating itself is a bad idea. So, you want to start up the American Militia Bureau?

      This all pretends that the ideals that the second amendment was based on are still valid. A bunch of LARPingin the woods, even with regulation, can’t really achieve what the 2nd set out to do.
