Our friends at Common Folk Using Common Sense have a great article on the history of the right to arms:
The Second Amendment protects the individual citizens from having the federal government confiscate them. Period. There really is no debate that the Founder’s phrase “militia†referred to the individual citizens and not to a federally-organized military force. The mere fact that a person is a law-abiding citizen of the US guarantees their God-given right to keep and bear arms.
Testify, brother. AMEN!
