| + | Make everyone who owns or holds a gun automatically a member of the organized militia, which will be well-regulated by the state and federal governments. Well-regulated means not only trained, but also enlisted (documented) and subject to rules, including rules for storage and handling of guns outside of militia exercises. The rules can also have severe penalties for violations (such as evasion of enlistment/registration), including court martial. The rules can also declare some unfit for militia duty and thus unable to own or hold a gun. The US government has a clear Constitutional power to do this. | ||
