and in those days, 'well regulated' meant well trained. meaning they know how to shoot and how to maintain their weapons. NOT government regulated or controlled. any questions?

I won't waste my time or yours with any further posts regarding the constitution.

did the founding fathers put in a course of changing the constitution? a simple yes or no will suffice.
