Please define “Regulated Militia”."A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".
It's pretty cut and dry to me.
Also note there were actually different versions ratified by different states with different punctuation. One of the most poorly written sections of the whole document.
What about the universal understanding in 1790s to the mid-1900s that bill of rights only effected federal laws?
Not cut and dried at all. Which is too bad, but just saying it doesn’t make it true.
