Well said as usual BoP. However, all moot at this point in our history -- as there has been a standing military for more than 200 years. Listen, I don't think all guns should be outlawed. And I agree especially in rural areas having a gun for home defense is a very reasonable thing. But the extent to which the 2nd amendment is used to stop reasonable regulation of the gun industry is very problematic.
