I have no idea where the notion that taking a gun away from a person intent on murder is going to stop that person from committing murder. I'm a little tired of hearing the same old, "Let those Americans blow each other's heads off" argument, while people in "gunless" (for lack of a better term) societies are still running around stabbing each other, poisoning each other and bludgeoning each other. Fuck, a tool of murder is only a tool of murder in a murderer's hands. Let's not pretend that no one would die if we took away all the guns. Next, we should take away knives too and I don't want to hear any, "but, I need to cut my food."
Oh, and as far as citizen militia, you never know when a country will need one. Just because the government isn't leaning toward a dangerous dictatorship right now does not mean that it never will. If the law changes, there will be no guns with which to form a militia, if the need arises. You don't seriously think the men who wrote the U.S. Constitution meant for that right to disappear once there was an organized military, do you? Well, it is rather obvious that was not meant because there was an organized military when the Constitution was written.
