What do you consider an "anti"?

I've run across three different types of "anti".
1. The gun-owning anti. They don't believe that others should have guns. These include: politicians, klansmen, revolutionaries, paranoids, and mixtures of the above. Guns are for them, not you.
2. The gun-controlling anti. Wouldn't touch a gun except perhaps for select sporting events. Guns are carried by their bearers and servants - the police, security guards, and the military.
3. The herd. Guns scare them. Baaaa.
Be careful. Each type must be handled differently if you wish to retain your rights.

What would I consider a wackjob proposal? Anything that's obviously a BAD IDEA. Like having emergency rifles in glass cabinets alongside the fire extinguishers in schools. You can argue for allowing CCW-holding teachers, but you can't argue for something that would really just increase the opportunity for shootings and gun theft.
I'll play.
"Well regulated" means that it recognizes corruption, tyranny and crime and is ready to stand behind the taken oath: to uphold the Constitution to eradicate offenses against it.
"Non-well-regulated" means that it ONLY follows orders.

Well Regulated
In the language of the day, when those words were written, well regulated meant "trained and practiced, skilled."
The militia is, of course, every adult. In those days, it was every adult male, but today I would say, simply, every adult.
So, since the militia is every adult, and you want a militia that's skilled -- trained and practiced -- it only makes sense that the individual (of which the militia is made) would be armed.
How do you train and become skilled without arms of your own? "Hey, Bob, can I borrow your rifle? I gotta go get trained."
Let us not, however, get distracted by the "militia clause" of the 2nd Amendment. It's not the part that drives the enumerated right: "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
People. People is individuals. The people is everyone. Every individual.
Just so we're clear on that.

If you don't support and encourage my right to drive around town in an M1A1 Abrams, whilst proudly open carrying my AT-4 rocket launcher, you are an anti.
