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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
