The Second Amendment says nothing at all about the power of the Federal Government, now, does it?

I don't recall asking you anything about the 2nd Amendment.

I asked you:

Where are the collective guns kept today to keep in check the power of the federal government?

You replied:

Here's details on the National Guard in New Jersey for a handy example...

Suggesting that the National Guard was the source of collective guns needed to keep in check the power of the federal government.

I then asked you:

Do you feel that the National Guard serves to keep in check the power of the federal government?

And you responded:

Yeah, I do....

So clearly, you feel that the National Guard serves to keep in check the power of the federal government.

I disagreed with this, and said:

How do you believe the National Guard serves to keep in check the power of the federal government? Could you elaborate?

No where have we talked about the 2nd amendment.

I just want to know how you think the National Guard serves to keep in check the power of the federal government.

So - how does it?
