As one eminent historian states: “Well-regulated in the 18th century tended to be something like well-organized, well-armed, well-disciplined.” The way to Make America Safe Again,while uniting all but the lunatic fringes of the body politic is by taking more, not less, seriously the full Second Amendment.
President Biden! By restoring well-regulated militias you can create Constitutionally pristine mechanisms, in keeping them well regulated, to keep guns out of the hands of those dangerous to public safety … while putting them securely into the hands of the rest of us. The U.S. Army is not required to and does not accept those with criminal histories or psychological problems. The militias won’t either. |

"[T]the Swiss are very serious not only about their right to own weapons but also to carry them around in public."
This claim is patently false. Swiss citizens are required to serve in the militia, and are issued select-fire weapons. They keep these in their homes. They can purchase those rifles when they retire, but they must be rendered semiauto-only.
Handguns are a different story.
Not only can't Swiss citizens carry firearms around in public, while they are permitted to keep their rifles at home, they are prohibited from possessing ammunition.
When they go to the range for training/practice, they must sign for ammunition, and any that isn't used must be returned before leaving.
Therefore, the core concept of this article is BS. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
