    Does anybody remember the Michigan Militia?

    P.S.: TuffStuffMcGruff, to the best of my knowledge, most people consider the National Guard to be the cognate of a "well regulated militia."
    I understand, but if I can own a gun, my friend paul can own a gun, my friend Shawn can own a gun, etc - why can't we all get together and decide on common defense plans for our families and go to the shooting range together? New York has specific laws against this.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
