What do YOU think the 2nd amendment means?

[Redleg]

Very well. However, the National Gaurd can only do so much. Unofficial militias waging a guerilla war are still necesarry. And the National Gaurd is anything but an argument against the 2nd Amendment.

Then you missed understood what I am saying - the National Guard should not be used as an arguement against the 2nd Amendment - nor should one use it to support the 2nd Amendment.

But in the aspect that you were using the National Guard as being under Federal Control was incorrect.

Unofficial Militia's were not the intent of the founding fathers. There intent is clearly written in the second amendment. A well Regulated Militia

But do not let this side discussion distract from the second part of the amendment which is also clearly written that we have the right to keep and bear arms.
