If you look at the definition of militia from dictionaries from 1750-1790, it is essentially all men of age fit for military service. It was talking about men, not an organization.

Yes, Kennedy was one of the supporters. Some of the dissenters ahd some ineteresting reasoning, that I don't agree with.

I would expect to see Nickel's law to be tested immediately once enacted. Montesano, WA passed a similar law, and was vetoed by the mayor a week later based on the RCW's and WA Constitution.

A member of the school board I'm on tried to regulate the general population (not students, employees and such) and allow no firearms on campus AT ALL. Only law enforcement/security guards are allowed to have loaded weapons on campus at this time, per the RCW's.

This person was trying to set district policy that covered parents carrying legally concealed weapons in their vehicle, on their persons, while picking up and dropping off students. Sure we could make the policy, but then we couldn't enforce, etc. I quoted the RCW's and Art 1, sec 24, and all discussion on the matter ended.

I also made the following point. In the case of domestic violence, where would an abuser know that the abusee and children would be together at a specific time and place? At school.

Let's not create oasis's of crime through laws that regulate law abiding citizens. Certainly didn't work in DC, or Chicago, did it? Abject failure is what I would call it.
