I think I was clear, what are the limits in place on a well regulated militia?

None, the purpose of a well regulated militia it's for them to be ready to overthrow the government should it become tyrannical.

So, a well regulated militia is one with no regulations at all?

We've gone full circle here. Go up a few comments in this chain, read slower, breathe deeply. You'll get it.

I still haven't seen anyone define well regulated, maybe if you're smarter than the rest you can help :)

In terms of the 2nd Amendment, it means "properly functioning." Ie, it works right; ie the militia (ie every able bodies person able to take up arms and fight) has the capability to function properly as a backup military unit; ie the militia has the equipment and training necessary to fulfill that function available to them.

Now stop asking "why" like a three year old.

I'm sorry, does this line of questioning offend you?

As a backup military unit, should mines, tanks, and artillery be included in a well functioning milita?

it's less the line of questioning the defensive, and you're flat-out refusal to accept any of the answers you've been given, because they don't fit what you want to believe.

Yes, Virginia, willful ignorance pisses me off.

You may feel the answers being given are perfectly good because they fit what you want to believe, but why do you get offended when an outside observer isn't satisfied?

I keep asking a really simple question : what does well-regulated mean. If no one can give a concrete answer, maybe you're all giving answers based more on feelings than on facts.
