"Why do you need an AR15?"

[montana]

The only need addressed in the 2A is access to weapons for arming the militia. However, that's been rendered somewhat moot, because those state militias that still exist, either are unarmed, or issue required weapons. There is no longer a need for individuals to provide their own weapons; and in fact, modern military forces prohibit the use of privately-owned weapons.



Precisely. And the only type of firearm practical for "RIGHT NOW!" accessibility on a 24-hour, wherever-you-are basis is a pistol or revolver.

Whether it is a moot point "in your opinion" or not, the 2nd Amend is still law. Citizens are the militia, " modern military forces are a standing army" so what is the point of modern military forces prohibiting privately owned firearms ? Their rules do not apply to civilians.

This is getting ridiculous. Later!
