content: The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with a militia.  That is a common misinterpretation that is based on a lack of understanding of construction of the English language.   The most correct interpretation of the 2nd is "While we acknowledge the need for a well-regulated militia, the right of the people to bear arms will not be infringed". The modern version of the "well-regulated militia" is the National Guard, and so what the amendment says in a modern context is "While we acknowledge the need for a National Guard (a state-organized military force) the people's right to bear arms shall not be infringed. It's pretty clear to me.  Only the stupid libtard sheeple who shirk their responsibility for self-defense think it means "only a military force should have guns".
