The word "regulated" was used at the time of the writing of the Bill of
Rights to mean "trained". The militia was all the male citizens. "AES/newspost" wrote in message ... In article , "G.R. Patterson III" wrote: He's opposed to private ownership of any firearm except shotguns plugged to three shells. And just where in the Constitution exactly is hunting mentioned? He prattles about "military-style assault weapons" while trying to ban semi-automatics, knowing full well that no military-style assault weapon is semi-automatic. I have the right to own and fire my Mauser, and, as far as I'm concerned, that includes the right to be allowed to buy ammunition for it. Kerry tried to ban that, and we aren't talking anything armor-piercing here. Want to give us a few details, just for the record, about the "well regulated militia" to which you, personally, belong? (given your focus on the Constitution, I assume you do) -- Name, location where it's registered, number of members, just who it's "well regulated" by, that sort of thing? |

At the time it meant "efficient" and/or "accurate" It derived from "regular", as in regularity...as in frequent bowel movements... Matt --------------------- Matthew W. Barrow Site-Fill Homes, LLC.

Or as in a well regulated clock, meaning operating well and efficiently.
