We cannot own military weapons without lots of money--who has a machine gun? A rocket-launcher? What we are simply the current versions of muskets--pistols, rifles, and shotguns. They serve the same purpose as their earlier counterparts. Nothing more, nothing less. I doubt many people privately owned cannon back in the 1700s, probably no more than people own cannons, machine guns, and rocket-launchers today.

And militia, well an armed citizenry is a militia in waiting.

It all comes down to whether you rely on government upon yourself for your protection. The supreme already ruled that police have no obligation to step in, we see gun free zones become killing zones. Is that acceptable? Or, should we arm ourselves, defend ourselves, be responsible citizenry and provide for our own personal defense?

Because the Second Amendment has already been violated. Repeatedly. People like our "friend" Ross are rapists of the Constitution.

It's time to start talking about some real "common sense" on guns.

Repeal the National Firearms Act.

Repeal the Gun Control Act.

Repeal the Hughes Amendment.

"Gun control" is a tool of tyranny.

Ugh! Lost words make my post a bit embarrassing! How about a do-over?
