The Right of the People to Keep & Bear Arms is dissolved somewhere,
The second amendment says in times of peace military is too $$$ and whatever ... so we need a armed militia to fight off an armed invasion. So dont cling to the second amendment as a reason you need to be armed. Its not for national defense ... its for you shooting yourself or your neighbor.
An armed invasion ... really ... if any of em make it across the atlantic ... I think we can worry about fighting them then.
BTW @ the time it was written, canada and the british were a threat.
Now canada is the 51st state, and falls in line behind washington better than California or most of the west coast.
Read the whole second amendment. I have ... in fact webster posted it pretty recently.
Cool.

The only reason the Japaneese didnt invade our mainland in WWll was they new the citizens were armed. Our military was weak and they knew it. One Japaneese general said to another "there is a rifle behind every blade of grass in the US" Our 2nd amendment probably saved many thosands of lives.
