As a result of the non-existence of the condition on which the right to gun ownership rests, the entire final clause becomes null and void. No such current right is thus established by the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment, as a result of the creation of a standing army, has become rather like the appendix in the human body: an irritating historical remnant. It, given the existence of a standing army, has no role to play in the Constitution and the country. |

"The Second Amendment, as a result of the creation of a standing army, has become rather like the appendix in the human body: an irritating historical remnant."
Please point out where the Constitution says that the Second Amendment is null and void if a standing army is created.
The biggest reason for the Second Amendment is to protect against the government's standing army. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
