        Actually, if you actually read the 2nd amendment, it's talking about a well regulated militia. The Founding Fathers were opposed to having a standing army. Instead of a standing army, they wanted a well regulated militia. We have a standing army now. The 2nd is obsolete.

        It was written during an era when all forms of law enforcement were scarce and people had to defend themselves. Now we have the police, FBI, CIA, the military and security guards to protect us. Private gun ownership is no longer needed.

        To Adam Winker's belief that the Founding Fathers "did not intend to give the people the right to rise up against the govt" or "to stage a revolution", he ignores their personal experience in having "to stage a revolution" was PRECISELY the FF's motive for ensuring this right.

        And to his argument that the Founding Fathers would not "provide the seeds for (the Constitution's) own destruction", Mr. Winkler also ignores that "a revolution" may be necessary to protect or restore it!

        Why do all the 2nd amendment quoters forget the part stating “well regulated”?? Local yocals owning weapons are not “well regulated”. BTW, I own multiple fire arms.

        People keep making this stupid argument. The military is forbidden by law from engaging in civilian law enforcement "posse comitatus", and the likelyhood the military would act against the people in the case of an anti-govt uprising is absurd.

        "Well regulated" was settled in SCOTUS Heller decision. People argued the right to keep and bear arms was reserved to a "well regulated militia". They ignored the history of "militia", that a militia IS THE PEOPLE, and that 2A guarantees the right of the individual to bear arms.

        The "well regulated" part only comes into play when citizens (the militia) are called into service. Does not apply until then.
