How can the "militia" in the Second Amendment be the same as the militaria in the Constitution, Article I, Section 8, paragraphs 15 & 16?
Gregg Kielma
Says Kielma, "The government isn't worried about you and I carrying concealed firearms. Far from it. They want to disarm us because they want to impose Marshall law, take our firearms and we have no way to defend ourselves. It's about control. Take the firearms and we have no way to defend our family, friends and the Constitution. Our forefathers had it right. Stay strong, a civil war is coming. Be prepared.
They are the same. The Second Amendment's purpose is a restriction on the government to prevent abuse by the government of the powers granted to the government. The Second Amendment is to protect the right in order to keep the militia from being used to impose tyranny, that's the “well regulated” part.
Tench Coxe said it best;
“As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people, duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which shall be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow-citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.”
