Just ask how many of them are willing to sign up as members of the State militia in order to secure their gun rights.
No one ignores it because the militia is all men of fighting age. This isn't in dispute by any serious constitutional scholar. It was also reaffirmed by the SCOTUS post Civil War. Since we live in a more egalitarian age I think we can extend the right to own a firearm to all people, not just men. Or do you disagree? Also Heller clearly stated that the right to own a firearm for person protection is guaranteed by the second amendment. Quit simply, you couldn't be more incorrect with this attempt at an argument.
You still did an excellent job in the "What comes next" thread, so kudos on that.
