[TheForge] todays shooting in school.

[Rob Fertner]

Then why didn't this argument succeed before the Supreme Court? The well
regulated militia is window dressing, the set up for the part that says "the
right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". That's
the meat of the matter.

Here's an excellent read:

To inject blacksmithing content, I'm heading out to our club's open shop
night. I'm going to beat some iron senseless.

Again it is about providing an augment to the standing army, the tyrant they
were worried about was King George it is not about personal protection from
your neighbor. We never faced the full British strength, in both the
Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 European nations, especially France
and Spain played a decisive role in occupying the major portion of Britain's
land and naval forces.

colonies and our founders specifically wrote into the "Bill of Rights" a
provision to give individual citizens the ability to prevent government from
overrunning our rights. Individual citizens did in fact withstand and defeat
a "full on assault from the British".
