Well-regulated milita: Gun training?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Richard C. Oppelt argues that we have abandoned the concept of a “well-regulated militia” embedded in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Such a militia, properly trained in the use of firearms and even in conflict resolution, could help defend citizens, writes Oppelt.
But the key is mandating proper gun training. Should government require varying degrees of training before allowing citizens to own firearms?
