Just to set the record straight. Remember what a 'militia' was back then. The forefathers were directly opposed to a standing army and believed that a militia came to be through the people of each state. And it is forever an "UNALIENABLE" right of people (per Hammonds federalist papers, which are still used by the Supreme Court). It is the militia's (aka people's) right to form to fight invaders or domestic tyranny. It's funny how 2nd amendment opposers have no idea what a militia is, it's we the people.
