How to Read the 2nd Amendment and the Constitution

[stanc]

Under the militia act, you did not have a voluntary choice to be a member, but a requirement of members was to own particular weaponry and supplies. A right is no longer a right when it is a requirement.

Not exactly. A right means the government cannot lawfully prohibit you from doing something.

Under the Militia Act of 1792, militia members were not denied the right to keep and bear arms.
