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.


As my interest in small arms is recent the issue of the right to bear arms sticks out like a sore thumb. As it has become apparent to me the government has no legal or moral right to restrict the use and sale of arms. As we can legally form militias shouldn’t we have access to the same weapons the military uses? Why do we as citizens allow our rights to be infringed?

I've got guns, many. Opps I mean I had them. They all fell off my boat when it was on fire. Seriously though, people keep on letting the .gov make new laws because we cannot stop them. Besides joining the NRA, GOA, etc, a signle individual can do nothing. You think senators are going to change their minds because someone sent them a letter. They probably get just as many letters from people asking them to do just the opposite you are asking them to. Big groups such as the NRA and GOA are our best shot at changing gun laws, and sometimes I think the NRA isnt helping us out that much.

Were the first Minutemen in America, armed by the Army?  No, they had shotguns and pitchforks they used at home to at first fight off the invaders.
