What Mr. Johnson doesn't understand is that the Second Amendment was really adopted as a defense against tyranny whether it be imposed through the force of a standing army or otherwise. The Second Amendment was not about protecting militias as he asserts, it was (and is) more properly about protecting the People (the militias are the People).
If the existence of standing armies was feared then, is it not logical to conclude that the Second Amendment is now all the more important with today's standing army being the instrument of the federal government?
Ed.: Second letter. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
