Why the 2nd Amendment may no longer be revelent to the Federal Government

[cory]

I'm inclined to agree. When the 2nd Amendment was written, there was a small standing Army, and state militias formed the bulk of land forces.

Today the regular Army is the main land force, augmented by the Army Reserve and Army Reserve National Guard; official state militias long ago ceased to exist.

1. The official state militia does exist the National Guard.

2. According to a ruling by the supreme court in 1930 something. We the people are the militia the 2nd Amendment refers too.

3. The Bill of Rights has nothing to do with a national military or limiting the rights of the people. They are there to limit the power of the Federal Gov, protect us citizens from a tyrannical gov., and when necessary guaranteeing the people the ability to act when the gov. becomes tyrannical, as the founders believed it would.
