You fucking retard.

WE don't have a militia now. The Government has a military. You don't need guns , unless you plan on fighting for what's yours in the event they try to take it.

The Second Amendment is wholly unrelated to the needs of the Revolutionary War. They didn't want an armed populace in order to defeat the British -- they already had defeated them. By 1784, the US had already established Regular Army infantry regiments. By 1791, the US had established a trained standing army.

Militia and armed populace was seen as a defense against tyranny and a guarantor of liberty. That may or may not be accurate, but that was the vision.

A+ Good post would read again. Whenever this topic pops up on any forum, it is filled with untrue nonsense that ill informed people regurgitate because they like the sound of it. The reality is that the Amendment has nothing to do with hunting or sport. It was not written with fine print saying to toss it out once firearms technology reached a certain threshold. It was 100% a statement of trust between the people and the government - as you said, a defense against tyranny and guarantor of liberty.
