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 |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
