Since the personal so-called “right to bear arms” has been rendered obsolete by those disciplined armed forces, the wind has been sucked from its sails, leaving it as a once great idea now dead in the water. It stands as a hollow principle that has outlived any practical use it might once have had. Not only that, but as written, in today’s world it is unenforceable, and so meaningless in any practical terms, a relic of the way things used to be — and many seem to wish they still were. |

| The standing army, and the select militia (the national guard) were considered abhorrent to the founding fathers to the point of barring their formation, except in times of declared war!!!The only military, out side of the militia, that was allowed is the Navy!!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
