Quote:Actually it referred to a well-regulated militia which did not mean every fucking asshole with a gun."We the militia" or "We the people"? The right is ours, and -a- justification given was a well-regulated militia. I'm sure that many of the people involved could have given more elaborate arguments. They did not. I doubt that any of them could have foreseen our professional army (making a "militia" obsolete) - or that if they did, they gave it much concern at the time. Of course, this is not actually a document "granting us rights" - we have them..they're all ours (don't forget about 10). It's a document that limits government power with respect to -some- rights. But suppose that this -was- all that it were limited to (that either the founders would have or we have since decided to take that approach). Are you okay with militias cropping up to take advantage of that?
