He should have had a cat. :-)

Nice kitty....

From my interpretation, it means that we as the militia should have access to the same type of firearms that the military has.

I agree and do not consider that "radical".

Hey, it was a BIG bag of weed. It was worth the risk.

In other words, law abiding citizens should be allowed to have fully auto M-16’s etc to be properly prepared to perform our duties as part of the militia. How can we be a well regulated militia without the proper arms to keep and bear?

You are of course quite correct in your interpretation. Prior to the turn of the century the militia was expected, if called upon, to show up with weapons of the type currently in use in the regular Army.

In 1900 that meant a Krag Jorgenson. In 1945 that meant a Garand or a Browning light MG. In 2007 that would mean an M-16 or a SAW.

There's nothing radical about that belief at all.

I wonder at point the dead “suspect” is no longer referred to as a “suspect”
