Thank you for the article but I have to say that the quote from the militia act of 1792 is not defining what firearms citizens are allowed to own. The government was expecting, when the militia was called up, that each man has his own weapon and ammunition. The act defines what each man was expected to bring at a minimum.
Brilliant connecting 2nd Amendment to a parallel Act for context. Saw a flintlock demonstrated at a reenactment recently, pretty cool actually!
Yes, please.
This should be the rallying cry. Makes perfect sense!
Shall we start the petition?
