Hmmm... You don't suppose that free men might actually defend themselves if not debarred the use of arms by the state... do you?

Absolutely. But what I do not understand is how the government is supposed to rid the U.S. of terrorists, many of whom are citizens of this country, if their hands are tied by the very citizens they are trying to protect.

I don't doubt you "do not understand", -- mainly because no citizens are tieing anyones hands.
The government should be bound by the constitution.
Even in times of war. - Try to understand that simple truth.
