"A well-regulated (i.e.: equipped, trained & prepared) militia being necessary to the security of a free state..."

Yep. Perzactly what the Founders intended -- they knew the government could not guarantee the peoples' safety.

Ultimately, we are responsible for our own safety, and it is a crime that the Federal government does not recognize and take advantage of that fact! And take advantage of the fact that there are many of us out here that are more than able and willing to do so, and to protect our fellow citizens at the same time!
