Where's the definition of a "well regulated militia"?



mi·li·tia (m-lsh)
n.or
1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers.
2. A military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency.
3. The whole body of physically fit civilians eligible by law for military service.

note the line

1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers.

-----------------

they say unless you are in a militia you cant own a gun but as soon as you join a militia then you are a terrorist group

seeing that should not have i both ways (even tho hey do many times)

so you own the the gun and when the time comes you join together and become a well regulated group of ordinary citizens

for a more in depth definition you can get it explained at his web address for the time period usage

In the U.S. for 2010, there were 31,513 deaths from firearms, distributed as follows by mode of death: Suicide 19,308; Homicide 11,015; Accident 600. This makes firearms injuries one of the top ten causes of death in the U.S. The number of firearms-related injuries in the U.S., both fatal and non-fatal, increased through 1993, declined to 1999, and has remained relatively constant since. However, firearms injuries remain a leading cause of death in the U.S., particularly among youth (CDC, 2001) (Sherry et al, 2012).

Last year's national decline in traffic fatalities -- to 32,310 -- came as motorists drove about 36 billion, or about 1.2%, fewer miles, perhaps because of high gas prices and a still-difficult economy that might have discouraged pleasure road trips.

The 2011 fatality rate is projected to decline to the lowest on record, to 1.09 fatalities for every 100 million vehicle miles traveled, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Traffic deaths have fallen by about 26% since the 43,510 fatalities reported in 2005; highway fatalities peaked in 1972, at 54,589. In 1949, there were 30,246 fatalities, but the rate was 7.13 fatalities for every 100 million vehicle miles traveled.

Traffic safety experts attributed the decline to a number of factors -- "probably people driving less,........

looks like motor vehicles are more deadly than firearms


so you drive less you kill fewer people on the roads


but if more people have the capability of having a firearm to defend themselves he homicide rate goes down ----

..... Today, with fewer gun control laws in place than 20 years ago, homicide rates are down......

so logically speaking if death is the ruling factor

outlaw motor vehicles and arm the population would b the way to go
