I have never changed my stance on that. maybe you've talked to too many people about it.Oh so you changed your stance, no suprise there.
So your new stance is "well regulated" doesn't mean "well regulated" it means "well trained"..............I'll bite
I'm choosing the framers definition, which is the only one that matters. That is to be in good order. absolutely nothing about being controlled by the government. I'll say it again. It's the height of stupidity to believe that the framers would guarantee the right of a standing army to keep and bear arms after they had just won their independence from an oppressive central government and standing army that tried to take their private firearms.Note there are TWO definitions of "regulated". Both definitions use the term "control". You chose the less likely definition "to control or supervise"
You are basically stating the 2nd Amendment says, "Well controlled and supervised citizens, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
You lose either way.
