We need accountability beyond those who pull the trigger, and for people to accept that Rights requires responsibility, those not willing to bear those responsibilities do not get to exercise those rights.
In order to operate a firearm you would need to join a WELL REGULATED militia, if the arms master of that militia see you fit to operate a firearm than they can provide one with no restrictions. No private sales of guns are allowed but militas can purchase a tank if they have the means.
100% and if a member of the militia commits a gun-related crime, that militia's charter is pulled.
Who exactly regulates this militia? The government? If so, we've just reinvented the police but made it a volunteer position
If the point is that an armed populace is a deterrent against a tyrannical government, giving the government carte blache to restrict and control them defeats the purpose.
A militia is a far far far better deterrent to a tyrannical government than a bunch of unorganized citizens, or loners stock piling some rifles.
Our current situation only serves those who enforce the status quo, or who want to commit acts of terror against countrymen they politically disagree with.
But who enforces the regulation? Who decides what is a militia vs "a bunch of unorganized citizens"? Who appoints a militia's "arms master"? The problem is that if it's the gov, that same government can take away those privileges or only appoint/approve militias they politically agree with.
All of your rights are granted and protected by the government. Every single one.
