A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

It means citizens retain power to overthrow a corrupt government.

Which made perfect sense in 1776 when the pinnacle of weaponry was the single shot musket and cannon. In 2012, it's outright stupidity to think the citizenry armed with rifles, shotguns, and handguns have any chance at all against a modern trained army with access to clusterbombs, tanks, drones, and nerve agents.

Pretty sure this was nearly the same mindset of Vietnam btw (kinda pointless in this topic, but all the same).

How many soldiers do you think would kill their own fellow countrymen, especially considering most soldiers would agree with the majority populace if it came to a rebellion against the government.

The Viet Cong were backed and supplied by Russia and China. Who is going to arm our populace with artillery, tanks, jets, etc. Canada and Mexico?

The same military that you seem to think would fully support the government and kill their own friends/family.

What about "Jimbob the jackass" owning a gun says either "well regulated" or "militia" to you bro?
