A5,
In the basement of St. Vladimir's Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Ambridge, PA, Scattered along the walls are pictures from church events throughout its history, mostly pictures of the founders of the church, old Priests, and church school graduations. There is one picture from the 1930's of the Priest standing on the steps of the church with men wearing uniforms and holding their rifles at port arms. Some of the men were American WWI vets and some had fought with the short lived Ukrainian Army against the communists. I don't know how often if ever they drilled, however, I suspect they viewed being in the Sich as maybe the best way to prevent an American Holodomor.....
This got kindof long winded, but I guess to me, that's what the second amendment is all about. It gives the local community the ability to do something other than just roll over and die. I don't know at what point exactly firearms restrictions sufficiently defang us as to nullify that purpose, but it seems like a so called "assault" weapons ban is getting pretty close.
