The second amendment says the right to bear arms and form a well regulated militia. What is the definition of well regulated, and who is supposed to regulate it.
This was an idea that the citizens could protect themselves against a tyranical gov. That was when the army and the citizens had the same weapons, rifle, sword, bayonet. That all changed when a couple of Ohio boys went to a place called Kitty Hawk and defied gravity for the first time. Do you really think that if the govt wanted to supress the people they would come and knock down your door and take your gun first, really. What would all the guns in the world do against an Arleigh Burke class guided missle destroyer parked in the great lakes that can put a ballistic missle the size of a coupe deville in your living room at a 1000 miles, or a stealth bomber dropping smart bombs at 30,000 feet, or better yet one of the many unmanned drones that are flying over the unprotected, southern border.
I guess now the people should have the "right" to anti aircraft weapons, anti-tank mines and radar, so that the literal interpretation of protecting ourselves against an tyranical govt can be possible.
OK,more flawed thinking,and from canada no less.Sooo the right to free speach changed when al gore invented the internet?
