No training?
The 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution said:
"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."
The "well regulated" part of the 2nd amendment means trained and organized. The militia system that the founders envisioned (and had) was very similiar to the Switz system. Males between 18 and 45 are in the militia if they are not in the Armed forces. The have a uniform, rifle, ammuntion, and other necessary accoutrements in their home - maintained in good condition ready to be used. Congress, and most -if not all- states are derelict in their constitutional duties at the present time. Check your state constitution. For instance the Kansas State Constitution Article 8 states:
"The militia shall be composed of all able-bodied male citizens between the ages of twenty-one and forty-five years, except such as are exempted by the laws of the United States or of this state"
and
"The legislature shall provide for organizing, equipping and disciplining the militia in such manner as it shall deem expedient, not incompatible with the laws of the United States"
I know what some are thinking, that is the National Guard but, US code Title 10 Section 311 states:
"the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."
Which makes clear that the militia does not exclude non-guard soldiers. The US constitution however does not make provisions for an "unorganized" militia however. So what ever label they slap on it, a militia it still is, and armed, trained, and organized it must be. Strictly speaking, the 2A is a collective right, in the sense that "we the people" are collectively, the militia. Not only are gun bans unconstitutional, The several states should PROVIDE us with the proper and neccessary firearms to fulfill our duty in the state militias. But that is not done for two reasons:
1: It is anachronistic, to them... even though the Switz have this system today.
2: State militias are a "check" on federal power, and tyranny in general. If the police are outmanned and outgunned by "We the people", a Police State is problematic to achieve.
