People keep talking about founding fathers etc, but the founding fathers could have absolutely no idea of ,
1: the deadliness of todays weapons
2: how bad gun related death is in some parts of the US
3:How little need there is for a regulated militia.
Times change, automatic weapons would have scared the founding fathers to death if they saw them. The efficiency of todays guns has increased to a point where it is total overkill to use them for home defence.
Ask yourself if you really need a well regulated militia. There isnt going to be an uprising, you really are fooling yourself. By all means try with whatever means you have at your disposal. Your efforts will be short lived, you cant compete with the guns owned by the govt.
Also what the hell is a "well regulated militia" anyway? Who is regulating it. The government? Arent they the ones we are fighting in the first place? If not regulated by the government, the "regulated militia" is just a group of nut jobs that like to dress up in camo gear and pretend they have authority because they carry a gun. No thanks, I will take my chances with the government.

I don't NEED a 22" monitor either...get my drift?
The important difference here is that a 22inch monitor cant blow large holes in numerous people in quick succession.
For what its worth, I dont care if civilians own guns, but there should be regulation.
