#3 10 U.S. Code § 311 - Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1)
the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2)
the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

The object is to disarm and rule. The crown tried to do that once. Can't have those subjects armed like the army.

#5 And when all firearms are banned, then these people will come for your very life.

No. They don't give a rat's ass about your life. They want your money.

#6 Of course the monkey in the wrench is proving an increased lethality of the AR platform - specifically unarmed captives in close quarters. Would any rational person with basic knowledge of guns conclude that, in those situations, there would be less carnage if the shooters were using Joe Bidens shotgun?
