. John, I'm just trying to inform you of the historical context and intent of the framers. By "organized" in the constitution, they meant usable/well maintained weaponry. I used organized in the same way, along with my own meaning of organized in the sense the citizens have a common target to shoot at. So your argument is we are already handicapped against the military as it is, so let's handicap our selves entirely? Also this doesn't even get into the self defense ramifications either. Also, many people thought a group of colonies fighting against one of the mightiest empires on Earth didn't stand a chance either :p  Listen some men think its their responsibility to protect themselves and family, and others don't. Good luck repealing that supreme court ruling brother.
