The Agency Brief The Militia Act of 1792: Federal Mandate for Private Firearm Ownership Five months after ratifying the Second Amendment (December 1791), the same Congress passed the Militia Acts in May 1792. The Two Acts May 2, 1792 – Calling Forth Act - Authorized the President to call the militia into federal service. May 8, 1792 – Uniform Militia Act - Mandated private armament and established uniform national standards (passed on the final day of the session). Reason for Passage A direct response to St. Clair’s Defeat (November 1791), the worst U.S. military loss of the era. Congress responded by: Expanding the professional army (the Legion of the United States) Requiring citizens to arm themselves as a ready reserve — ensuring the nation didn’t rely on a large standing army many feared could threaten liberty Who Was Enrolled “Each and every free able-bodied white male citizen” aged 18–45. Enrollment was automatic, with limited exemptions. Some states broadened eligibility. Required Equipment (Section 1 — purchased and maintained at personal expense) Musket or firelock (military caliber, bayonet-capable) or rifle Bayonet and belt Knapsack, pouch, two spare flints Cartridge box with ≥24 cartridges (or ≥20 balls for rifles) Officers: additional privately purchased items (pistols, swords, fusils, etc.) Failure to appear properly equipped at muster resulted in fines enforced by militia courts-martial. These weapons had to be military-standard and fit for immediate service, not hunting or sporting pieces. Meaning of “Well Regulated Militia” in 1792 To the Founding generation: Equipped with military-standard arms Organized and trained at regular musters Inspected and ready for immediate use “All done with privately owned arms stored at home.” The federal law specified minimum required arms, not any form of prohibited weapons. Many states imposed even stricter requirements — extra ammunition, specific calibers, edged weapons, and spare parts. Enforcement in Practice Federally mandated, state-enforced. Compliance was inconsistent; multiple presidents from Washington onward complained that large portions of the militia showed up poorly equipped or not at all. Duration The core provisions remained statutory law until superseded by the Dick Act of 1903, which established the modern National Guard structure. https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/2nd-congress/session-1/c2s1ch33.pdf The Congress that wrote and ratified the Second Amendment immediately enacted a federal requirement for private citizens to own and maintain military-capable firearms. WLS is Lifestyle Geissele Unveils Innovative Lee-Enfield Makeover Geissele has recently showcased their rebarreling project for Lee Enfield rifles, specifically the No. 1 Mk. III, which addresses the issue of worn-out barrels due to corrosion and age. While this venture marks a departure from their usual offerings, it highlights their historical roots in highpower rifle competition. The project may spark interest within the gun community, particularly among vintage rifle enthusiasts, although it remains uncertain if Geissele will extend this service to the public or if similar projects will follow. Limited Edition Jeep Wrangler Commando for Military Personnel Fox Factory Vehicles has introduced a limited Commando variant of the Jeep Wrangler, with only 250 units available exclusively to active military personnel and veterans. This model features a powerful 392 HEMI V8 engine and various upgraded performance components, catering specifically to a niche market within the automotive sector rather than the broader gun community. Air Force Embraces Morale with T-Shirts and Callsigns for Aircrew The article reports that Gen Kenneth Wilsbach has authorized the return of colored Morale T-Shirts for utility uniforms on Fridays, promoting unit heritage. Additionally, Airmen in the Flight Duty Uniform can now include their callsign and last name on their aircrew nametags. The Alley Passenger Discovers Loaded Magazine on Frontier Airlines Flight A passenger discovered a loaded firearm magazine on a Frontier Airlines plane, raising concerns about airport security and the potential for gun-related incidents. This incident could stoke fears among gun control advocates while reinforcing the belief among gun enthusiasts that responsible firearm ownership and awareness are essential, even in unusual places like airplanes.

Doogie - these guys are the only thing making Mondays survivable. glad to have Aaron back, somebody has to take all the body shots and generally be obnoxious. the nights when Shawn gets conned into drinking too much always makes me laugh. hope one day Aaron can get proper lighting. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Leggomy Webbos - The best guncast out there hands down. You will learn so much that you need to know and also things you wish you never learned, usually from Jeremy. If you need to go to sleep just listen to one of Shawn's hunting stories and you will be out in no time. If you want to feel better about yourself listen to Aaron talk about his life and you will never feel down again. When you feel down just say "At least I'm not Aaron". Nick has great insight into things and is very informative, when he's not in the bathroom. Better yet he should have a wireless headphone mic that he can take into the bathroom with him. Savage is just Savage and can't be replaced. the show was missing an important part when he was out. I'll say #nonotes but must have missed the part about nonotes cause I have no idea what the hell that means. Keep up the good work!!!
