They always forget this.

They always forget this. | A well regulated militia is self explanatory! It means, regulation! The 2nd Amendment gun cucks don't understand this; Congress already had this power granted to them in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. Congress already had this power granted to them in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. Thus, us gun cucks; wanting our guns! | image tagged in memes,gru's plan,goodfellas laughing scene henry hill,2nd amendment,gun laws,political humor | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

The National Guard did not exist at that time, at least not as we know it.

hum, so what militia do you suppose they meant?
And well regulated? I think that word is overlooked a little too often as well.

They meant the state militias, which were "regulated" somewhat by Congress. Congress was given that power In Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution which says "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress" So it would seem to me that the states lost much control over the militias with the crafting of the Constitution. Which is why, and I emphasize this, the 2nd amendment was established in the Bill of Rights, for the right of the people to bear arms, regardless of what control the federal government had over the militias. In my opinion, the 2nd amendment makes more sense, seen from this perspective.

Yes, you are correct, I believe they did turn into the National Guard, but my point still remains.

"well regulated" I am sure they would be cool with a semi-auto 30 round clip too

Absolutely, considering what weapons the state now has, they would be all in favor of that yes.

the militia under the constitution is required to have the exact same weapons as the military. Tanks, drones, B1...

Right you are. But you're forgetting the second part of the amendment "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" Thus, the militia and the people are two different things. Gun control advocates seem only to think of the first part, and argue that the only reason to have guns would be for someone in the militia, while 2nd amendment activist see a more balanced and more (in my opinion) historical view.
