The Second Amendment reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State…”
The men who wrote the amendment defined it as they personally experienced, and recognized; All able-bodied men were required to keep arms, and train. All others were support, and only those who were exempt by statute were excused.
All able-bodied men were required to own and keep in good working order a weapon that was suitable for military service that would be inspected on a regular basis by the county Militia lieutenant.

This is a pretty common tactic that the OP pulls in the gun control forum where he spends most of his time.

Anytime you call him out, he expounds on how smart he is and how much he studied. Anyone who disagrees “doesn’t get it”, “needs to wake up” etc.

I seem to recall that are some 60 million gun owners in the USA. The total number of guns is estimated to be 600+ million!

Perhaps what is more important is the fact that the large majority of those gun owners actually know HOW TO USE THEM!

Next in order, will the military actually engage in an all out war against US citizens/residents?

We have friends who are LEOs, and their view of what would happen if they were ordered to fire on US citizens, here in this country, should an uprising take place. To a man, they said they would take off their uniforms and go home to fight and protect their country, property and families. Elite soldiers were also asked the same question and to a man they said would refuse such an order. We are not talking about some "militia" here. We are talking about a general uprising.

Consider the tactical problems with military units having to fight their way through the woods and mountains of the eastern coast. I remember from my military service that the problem of having to deal with "snipers" was a very tough one to solve. A single shot, or two, from a distance of 300+ yards. Then the shooter takes off into the "wilderness". I spent time as an infantry troop and understand that issue.

What was the recommended ratio of soldiers to individual snipers? Something like 100 to 1.

Consider the armament of such individuals. Long range rifles, plenty of ammo, optical sights.

I know 3 people who could put 9/10 rounds on an 18 inch square steel plate at 300 yards, using only the peep sights that came with the national match grade M1A.

And whether this doofus abrams likes it or not, the whites are the huge majority in this country. I know women in this state who never leave home without their pistol, and are quite competent with them. As well as being very good with rifles and shotguns.

And, there are a lot of Blacks in the SW part of this state, as well as others, that will join their friends, neighbors and families to defend this country.

Back to Abrams nonsense... I bet she'd be utterly shocked to realize that a couple of those 'oppressed' blacks that go to church with me, would opt to stand shoulder to shoulder with me and other 'whitey' folks if her "revolt" ever happened. That's the problem with Abrams and others painting in such broad strokes. She forgets that a whole bunch of folks who share her skin tone don't also share her values or agenda.
