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 |
| Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. — Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. |
