That's fine, but it should be called out separately, because enemies of the new republic will try to tie militia membership to the right to arms.

They've been doing that for ages. The fact is it just doesn't work. The structure of the 4 sentences they use makes it clear beyond doubt that my right to bear arms shall not be infringed regardless of me acting as part of a militia. The 2A says that a militia is important and then goes on to say that the people's right to arms shall not be infringed. I realize we are dealing with jackasses but it really can't be stated any more clearly than it was. In fact that 4 sentence structure was quite brilliant but probably well above the level of brain power of your average progressive.

Well the average brain power of a progressive was never meant to be able to vote. Universal suffrage was the ultimate mistake that has done us in, along with the removal of God and moral ethics from education. The most evil people are also the most intelligent and educated. By removing ethics and civics from education, both public and private, we were doomed to generations of evil and ignorance.

Some major problems with your statement here. Civics hasn't been removed from education. Evil people are not more intelligent. By definition, the fact they can't determine what is good makes them less intelligent.

In today's environment, it's hard for me to imagine how anyone that's not inherently evil could stand our educational process. This has to be by design.

I think you have some logic problems in your reading. I never said evil people are more intelligent, I said that the most evil people are also very intelligent. You can't make evil work on a large scale without being very intelligent. Of course there are murderers and psychopaths that are both evil and stupid, like Cannon Hinnant's murderer. But the worst are those like Soros or Gates who are truly geniuses and believe they are doing "good" while enriching themselves because their moral compass is totally out of alignment with the actual common good.

Being able to discern right from wrong is a sign of wisdom, not intelligence.

At a minimum, all male citizens capable of bearing arms.

THIS. They explicitly stated the militia is the whole of the people. Separately, they also advocated for learning how to shoot, especially while young. They didn't have to stress this much, that's how people survived.
