Reply #116: We have 2 well regulated militias.

[Old and In the Way]

They are called the National Guard and US Army. No where does the 2nd Amendment talk about the individual's right to own firearms. I would think that this was a conscious decision on the framer's part. After all, they could have added 2 simple words to the 2nd Amendment after "well regulated militia" - "and individuals". They didn't. Maybe our Forefathers envisioned the day when nutty people would have access to weapons capable of indiscriminately taking large numbers of innocent lives.

Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't own guns, just that I think the gun-lovers need to start the process to change the Constitution to allow you that luxury. Or start a process to dissolve the well regulated militia's we have and re-institute the Swiss model that would make us all citizen-soldiers. Your call.
