Is Gun Ownership a Right?

[stanc]

The court ruled there is no militia service needed for the right to bear arms. Since there is an age requirement for the organized militia then it was "my take" not the courts, there was no age requirement for the un-organized militia.

Your "take" is wrong. According to Federal law (10 USC 246), the age limits are the same for both the organized and unorganized militia.

Think about it. If the militia were "the whole people" (as per Mason), that would include everyone from newborn babies to old folks on their deathbed.

The unorganized militia is a reserve pool of personnel upon which the organized militia can draw, so it needs to have the same age limits.

You never answered my question about the "conundrum". If the right to bear arms is not connected to the militia, then where does the right come from?

Presumably, the right to keep and bear arms comes from the Founders' belief that white people were endowed with "God given" rights.

If only able body citizens have the right to bear arms then please show me the evidence this has ever been enforced. Case law, or historical evidence. Since 71% of the youth today are not fit enough to serve in the military and most of the other old farts such as myself are not age appropriate, why doesn't the anti-gun crowd just evoke the able body rule to take one hell of a lot of guns off the street?

:confused: I've never heard of such a rule.

So you are copacetic with racist, sexist slave owners "your description, not mine"............ Okie Dokie!

LOL. No, I just don't subscribe to the notion of "good" and "evil."
