What do YOU think the 2nd amendment means?

You know Aurelian that any link that doesn't show that the founding fathers wanted us to own any type of weapon is completely hogwash - unless its support by the NRA and others. Edit: Forgot the sarcasm on and off buttons.

The author and I agree completely with this point

I do not state whether or not I believe that Americans should have a personal right to keep and bear arms, or whether or not current gun control laws are Constitutional, or even whether or not there should be gun control. My experience has been that people have already made up their minds on these issues and would not be persuaded by what I have to say on the matter, even were I inclined to state it.
