A gun is simply a tool. It can be used to turn off the T.V. or open your beer.

11. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?

I think the part that mentions a "well regulated militia".

"This is the Age of Terrorism, in which we must maintain a war footing without benefit of old-style national mobilization. Never has there been a greater need for a well regulated militia, competent in all the many and various disciplines required and rational in its structure."

You seem defensive!?

Nah, just reminded me of an article I read about the definition of...and I had saved the ending paragraph because it reinforces my belief in our 2nd amendment. (Although the subject matter was focused on the National Guard)

As far as making a point to you? Why waste energy!

Good thing you didn't post this on Feb 15, 2002. But frankly I say that stat is absolute nonsense.

Ooooops

Which, at the time it was written, consisted of every able-bodied male aged 16-60. "Well-regulated" was a pretty subjective term at the time also.

Firearms are bugger all use against oppressive governments. Unless you're in favour of unrestricted access to MANPADS, Anti-tank weapons, a range of landmines, and ultimately WMDs (as a deterrent, of course) as well as firearms, the "guns are to save us from oppresive government" line is merely sanctimonious, empty posturing.
Owning firearms certainly didn't seem to work out very well for the people at Ruby Ridge, or Waco.

Well Regulated Militia and Right to own guns are two different parts of one sentence.

Just because it's in one sentence, don't let it confuse your incompatint engglesh.
