Spartan Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 The meaning of the phrase "well-regulated" in the 2nd amendment The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment: 1709: "If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations." 1714: "The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world." 1812: "The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial." 1848: "A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor." 1862: "It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding." 1894: "The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city." The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it. https://www.constitution.org/cons/wellregu.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Garand Thumb - is from closing the bolt on an empty magazine, like during inspection or cleaning. Never happens on a loaded rifle. ... too much friction from the top round.

All part of bein' a well regulated militia. 9>) Actually, I have to laugh at this one. My ex-wife had an uncle who served in both World War II and Korea, and he heard a lot about "Garand Thumb." He wondered what kind of idiot would do that to themselves, or even HOW they could do it to themselves, believing exactly as you note above. He'd ALWAYS had to slap his M1's charging handle to chamber the first round after inserting the clip into the magazine. Fast forward to a number of years later, and he's married and settling down, and he goes into the local hardware store and LO! There is a M-1 Garand just like he'd served with in the military. "Hey!" he thought to himself, "I should buy that! I know that gun inside and out!" So, he buys it, takes it home and gives it a thorough cleaning, then goes to load it. He shoves the loaded clip into the magazine - CLACK! - the bolt closes on his thumb! I actually had a M1 where you had to use the heel of your hand to hold the charging handle back when inserting the clip The instant you pulled your hand out of the way, the weapon would chamber. MOST M1s I've handled do exactly as you describe... but there ARE those that will release the bolt the instant the clip locks in the mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
