This thread is wandering too much away from bear arms. Armaments are poorly designed for bears as are cell phones. Bears find it almost impossible to text message since they lack proper thumbs and the USA is missing a big bet in a new market by not making both armaments and cell phones adaptable for bears. But to return to the OP, it specifically designates armaments for use by militias and, insofar as I know, there are no militias with bear members. (PLEASE! This is not an attempt at pornography). And bears do not have terribly good eyesight. The American Eagle is noteworthy for excellent eyesight. The ideal Militia soldier would be a bear with a bear adapted automatic rifle with an American Eagle on its shoulder to direct the fire. This combination would no doubt scare the hell out of any Taliban. Go for it!

Bear: verb, to carry.
Bear: noun, a creature.
Bare: adjective, not covered.
Barely: adverb, almost as if not.

Armaments for the people,
as well as regulation of the militia.
Not merely armaments for the militia.

A bears lack of dexterity would make it quite difficult for the bear to learn how to salute. That, alone would make it impossible to convince any officer of the viability of this idea.

The constitution is under continuous re-interpretation by the Supreme Court. From its most recent decisions I have no idea where its comprehension of grammar might lead.

True enough. They should either write a grammar book, or draft up their own constitution.

What would the likelihood of a civilian being allowed to own & fly an armed F-22 Raptor be?

It is a shame that F-22 Raptors are poorly designed for usage by bears.

Its a shame that F-22 Raptos don't use nuclear pulse propulsion

Cost-benefit? Why would we need a fighter aircraft that can exceed escape velocity?

The Daedalus would have been able to reach 0.12c with this propulsion, but currently we don't need terrestrial fighter craft that fly faster than an SR-71. Not as far as I know anyway.

Could be cool to build such a craft, though I think it is meant for long term space flight.

Yeah but exceeding escape velocity is fun! Just like ion drives, except they are so slow I don't think they would be much use except in a ship that could perhaps contain a few hundred generations, of course Ion drives arn't bad fuel economy though, so atleast they are more effective in the long term.

And anyway, I only mentioned i because if a bear can't pilot a F-22 Raptor, it definately couldn't pilot an F-22 Raptor that could reach 0.12c

Well lets use GURPS to work it out
A bear has ST 15, giving it basic lift 45 .lbs
F-22 Raptor weighs 43,000 .lbs (Unloaded) and 64,000 .lbs (Loaded)
Therefore, one regular F-22 Raptor (Unloaded) Requires 955.5555r Bears to Lift!
So there is your answer, it would need 955.555r Bears

45Lbs? I'm able to pick up a friend of mine who weighs 260Lbs, so I must be 5.78 times stronger than a bear?

True enough. They should either write a grammar book, or draft up their own constitution.

And spelling wasn't so hot back in 1776 either. There's a danger the amendment might be interpreted as a defense of T-shirt manufacturers.

Ah but that is with one hand in one second, if the bear were using its full strength it would be able to life 450 .lbs
So to recaculate it would be only 95.5555r Bears to lift the same weight
