In quest of a well-regulated Militia, would you sell guns with no background checks?

Question

The 2nd Amenmdment states: "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State(1), the right of the People(2) to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

(1) This is a debatable point.

(2) As originally framed by Congress, certain commas and capitalizations altered. Among these were "Arms" became "arms", and "people" became "People".

Firstly, does selling guns without background checks to anyone with the ready cash have anything to do with the 2nd Amendment?

Secondly, for what reason did the states capitalize the "p" of "people"? Was it to ensure any psycho with a grudge could justify themselves as constituting a "well regulated Militia"?

Lastly, do state and federal forces, in their bearing of arms, not constitute a "well regulated Militia"?

Answer 1

I agree with the person above, "we the people" are the militia the constitution is talking about.

Answer 2

According to Virginia law, as well as most if not all states, a person with a history of severe mental illness is not supposed to be sold a gun. The problem in Seung's case was, that the data regarding who has this history, was not available to the gun seller.
I'll cite a case I know, in another state. A paranoid schizophrenic threatened the life of her friend. Then she went and bought a handgun. When her friend found out about the gun, she called the police and told them about it. They went to the mentally ill woman's house and got the gun from her without incident. Then the friend heard that the psychotic woman had run out of coffee. So she bought her a can of coffee, but only the cheapest kind, because the woman had threatened her life....
I don't know why the founders capitalized "People" except that people used more capitals in those days.
And I don't think that the state and federal forces would probably qualify as a militia; I think the Constitution intended that the people be able to resist the Government, in the unlikely event that this should become necessary. And, in the age of terrorism, it may become necessary to have locally controlled forces as well as national forces; but that is speculation on my part.

This is the best option to get a background check https://tr.im/8pv0H
Currently there are a lot of reasons to perform a criminal background check in today's community. These arguments vary from questions over a spouse's fidelity to misgivings regarding a recently hired sitter. There are several surprising figures out now that strengthen these doubts, and in many instances it is better to be safe than sorry. You may not realize it, but there can be quite a lot of people checking up on you. Potential employers top the list. Companies usually conduct background checks on job applicants primarily as a means to verify the credentials that you may have listed on your resume.

Answer 4

I think the yahoos who claim they have the right to carry a gun because they are part of a "well-regulated militia" should automatically have to sign up for the National Guard. That probably didn't answer your question.
