Yeah...time for a plate carrier. I told my dad a couple of months ago I was going to buy one...he's like "what do you need that for?" like I'm some crazy person or something. Because you just never really know and can't trust what the government tells you. Better to have it and never need it than need it and not have it.
In the context of the time the constitution was written, "well regulated" meant "functioning in proper order". Like a captain would have a well regulated ship. It in no way has anything to do with being managed by a strong federal or state government, because that is what they were fighting against.
The "militia" in the context of the time was taken to mean every able bodied person that could fight, had a weapon, a certain amount of ammo on hand and 3 days of food.
Once you put this together, the "You're not in a well regulated militia" talking point from the left becomes kind of funny.
This is a long way of saying you should have a plate carrier and armor because it maintains the tradition of a population that can function properly as a militia should the need arise. As it was intended.

More importantly, commas separated independent clauses. It supports a well regulated militia and armed population
