A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
It is not only in war, however, that we fight for freedom. One fights for freedom in personal contacts and in many phases of civilian life. When the war is over, the four freedoms will not have been won, we shall simply have dominated their more aggressive enemies. At all times, day by day, we have to continue fighting for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom from fear, and freedom from want — for these are things that must be gained in peace as well as in war. At all times, day by day, we have to continue fighting for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom from want — for these are things that must be gained in peace as well as in war.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist

A quotation from Dickinson, Lowes:
«
The task of war is to destroy life; the task of peace is to create it; to organize labor so that it shall not incapacitate men for leisure; to establish justice as a foundation for personality; to unfold in men the capacity for noble joy and profound sorrow; to liberate them for the passion of love, the perception of beau…

This is something that has always puzzled me... esp. with the 2nd Amendment as background ("well-regulated militia" and all that).
In our lawful #society... #police have a monopoly on the use of force internally (granted a reasonable right to self-defense by citizens, etc.). The #military has the exclusive right to use force externally. The #Founders did not envision a #peacetime army, therefor the #Militia would be made up of #citizen #soldiers, each with their own weapon. With no standing army, it would be up to the Militia to respond to external threats (at least in the short term). This Militia would have to be coordinated by either the States or Federal government.
So how is it we have arms-bearing, private "militias" that are not part of the National Guard or Reserves?!
I think most #Paramilitary activity should be regulated if not severely limited by law. They can always join the Guard or Reserve.
Otherwise they just become an internal threat as we saw on #Jan6.

It doesn't conflict with my anecdotal summaries.
The tendency of #militaries in #peacetime to lose focus on their core purpose [1] and hare off in different directions of irrelevancy is widely known and documented, at least as far back as the Vietnam #war, and probably earlier. In peacetime, there just aren't the same metrics and opportunities available for officers and general staff to focus on.
[1] #Armies exist to "break things and kill people". All else is #PR #fluff.

…and don' t forget the "well-regulated" bit!
My understanding is the founding fathers were fearful of having a #StandingArmy and therefor in #peacetime we would rely on "citizen soldiers" (aka the #militia) to be ready to respond to *outside* threats (England, France, Spain, etc.). Hence, each male head of household would have a musket over the fireplace (or something like that). 😉
Conclusion: The militias were clearly under government (state) control and the 2nd amendment was not intended to allow carte blanche gun ownership by individual citizens.
