One more piece of evidence in your favor that I have not seen posted as yet.
Amendment II of the United States Constitution
“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. “
Louisiana law clearly states that “every able bodied person between the ages of seventeen and sixty-four is considered to be part of a militia, subject to being called into active service. This reaffirms the intent of the framers of the constitution that citizenry’s right to “Keep and bear arms” should not be infringed.
