(2,717 posts)lurks often: What part of "well regulated" don't YOU understand?
Link: http://www.constitution.org/cons/wellregu.htm
The definition at the link is from the Oxford English Dictionary published during the time period the 2nd Amendment was being written.
The BIG problem lurks-often has is that, it is simply oxford using 'well regulated' in sentences, oxford is NOT providing a definition of what 'well regulated' meant. Just lifting out examples of well regulated being used in sentences proves little re 2ndA, since the term can indeed be used in a few ways. Lurkso also is not really citing oxford, but a blogger, one brian halonen, selectively choosing sentences - he appears on google on several pro gun sites.
If you wanted a contemporary definition of 'regulated', lurkso, why didn't you use websters' 1828 dictionary?: REG'ULATED, pp. Adjusted by rule, method or forms; put in good order; subjected to rules or restrictions. http://1828.mshaffer.com/d/word/regulated
lurkso: It took all of 5 seconds to find with an internet search. Your inability to do the same search or recognize any definition that doesn't fit your biased view
You should spend more than 5 seconds before you post biased pro gun links, your constitutional society link is headed & founded by a right wing nutjob, jon roland
Roland - His awareness of the growth of tyranny was aroused by reports of the trial of Randy Weaver Ruby Ridge case, and then burnout of the Davidians near Waco, Texas
Jon Roland, 66
When a militiaman claims the federal govt is trampling the Constitution, he might have Jon Roland to thank for his reasoning. In the mid-1990s, Roland founded the Constitution Society, a Patriot organization whose website assembles writings on all manner of constitutional issues, including a section on the alleged right to assemble a militia.
The site also delves into the world of conspiracy theories by providing links to sites questioning the Oklahoma City bombing and the role of researchers in creating the HIV virus. It even includes a section on mind-control technology.
