The theory was that armed militias would deter crime / catch criminals and form police as well as providing armed forces for defence of the union, in the event of invasion.
At the time, the British Army was still a potential threat to your country, rather than an ally.

We still have internal enemies that can't wait on a call to the phone center, then placed in a dispatch queue, then sent to a unit when they become available, then wait for the unit to find you and your assailant.Shred wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 5:33 amThe theory was that armed militias would deter crime / catch criminals and form police as well as providing armed forces for defence of the union, in the event of invasion.

That's because the 2nd amendment allowed the arming of your enemies.
If you had a system where every household in the USA was sent a licence form.
After which non applicants would get raided as would failed applicants.
Your country would be a lot safer as only non thugs / loons would be allowed firearms.
