Second Ruling Against California’s ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban Offers Supreme Court A Chance To Fix Heller

Good contextual info.

Gen. Washington also felt that well-regulated also ment well-disciplined and trained. After the New York Campaign he put an emphasis on training especially when he gained the help of Friedrich von Steuben to help spiff up the Continental Army.

Friedrich von Steuben arrives at Valley Forge

That emphasis was remembered when the Bill of Rights were drafted, since state militias were still a factor then, and through the Civil and Spainish-American Wars.

Good read 👍.

"...von Steuben propagated his methods throughout the Patriot forces by circulating his Blue Book, entitled Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States."

Reading that line gave me reminders of the US Navy S.O.R.M. (Standard Operating & Regulations Manual).
 
As per & in addition to jumpinjoes' post in David McCulloughs' book - "1776" General George Wahington,when arriving at Brooklyn (during theAugust 1776 battles around New York)..."Washington was outraged by what he saw, and in a letter written later that day, he lectured Old Put as he might the greenist lieutenant. All "irregularities" must cease at once. "The distinction between a well-regulated army and a mob is the good order and discipline of the first, and the licentious and disorderly behavior of thr latter."

General Washington clearly ment that in the lexicon of the day that the term "well-regulated" ment "well-trained" in the understanding of today.

Training begins in school of some sort along with other important curriculum. Firearms included.
Is why good well rounded education matters. Is something very important missing in our schools? Appears to be? Why is that?
