Gun Control

I'm fairly sure he'd have to read a book to find the original signal so I think we'll be spared the butchery.

Is it odd that the concept of not reading books is one that leaves me perplexed and fearing for children these days?

Trust me. Some of us still love reading.

Nope. Believe me I'm the same.

As has been explained numerous times to you the meaning of the words well-regulated in the late 18th century meant "properly functioning".

That still means that the government can set limitations to make them "function properly".

Nope. Try again.

In fact, I'm going to put you on your own 20, but I'll give you first down and ten because I'm generous. Now bear in mind further logical fouls will result in the opposition scoring on you.

What legal power do the militias have? Like can they do anything other than just show off their guns without breaking the law?

This is one of those things you can learn for yourself by, gasp reading! Books even!

The one Militia that I'm familiar with is cleared by the local Sheriff Dept to perform not only search and rescue, but perform other civil protection duties (much like Civil Defense in the 60's) during localized emergencies.

Granted, it took several years to get to that point though both legally and socially acceptable.

They can train and practice various skills. Some do volunteer work during emergencies.

In any event, all able-bodies adult citizens are part of the militia, so, anything a citizen can do.

We do public functions. Pro bono security (we did LA Pride last year). Various other functions. Charities, etc.

Edit: Phone changed "LA Pride" to "LA Prude" whish is not accurate.

Yep as I thought they do not have the power to enforce laws, or act like an army thus the government regulates and can shut them down if they try any of that stuff. Like the Bundy crew.

Sure do, just like any other citizen.

That literally what nobody here just said.

Seriously, fucking try harder.

Nice cherry pick, overlooking the half dozen other people saying that they can (and do) in various places.

Seriously, fucking try harder.

Or don't. Your infantile stabs at logic are amusing.

Nobody claimed that militias were the Police.

I'm going to have to charge you with

That's an offensive foul, 10 yard penalty, 2nd down.

I very much doubt that only ONE militia exists in MD.

Citizens do have the power to enforce laws.

What do you mean ""act like an army"? Field and marksmanship training maybe?

The government can and the militia can resist.

I'm a MD resident, and I'm in a militia that isn't the State Guard...

MD is also known for being one of the most unreasonable and restrictive states, regularly infringing on the rights of its citizens.

Would national guard count as militia as well
