    Indeed. If you don’t think the militia is sufficiently well-regulated, what additional regulations do you believe you should be subjected to?

    I’m guessing that you are not willing to engage in any militia training or instruction, nor will you accept any additional regulation on yourself beyond registration for selective service.

    That being the case, you are declaring that the militia is already sufficiently “well regulated”.

    If I am wrong, please describe the additional regulations you feel should be imposed upon you.

    I do not feel the militia is sufficiently well regulated. I think every student should take 8 hours of instruction on the laws governing use of force as a condition of graduation, and everyone should be offered and encouraged to take a 2-hour class on safe gun handling. I believe Congress should exercise their authority under Article I Section 8 clauses 15 and 16 and mandate this training to all members of the militia, yourself included.

        You know what you didn’t do there? You didn’t propose any additional regulations on the militia.

                  Every state in the U.S. requires a permit to operate a motor vehicle. But most don’t require a permit to purchase or own a firearm.

                    You did not read my linked comment. I’ll summarize:

                    Not one state requires a license to operate a motor vehicle on private property. Not one state requires a vehicle to be registered when operated solely on private property. Vehicles can be transferred without titles, so long as they are not operated on public roads.

                    Adjusting the gun laws to match vehicle laws would reduce gun regulations in several states.
