And I quote from Article I, Section VIII part 15-16:
"[15] To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions;
[16] To provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"
Sounds like they're talking about the Army and National Guard so forth right? Not according to righty, and the NRA. They claim they are talking about everyday citizens. Even though last I checked everyday citizens are not in the "employ of the United States".
I know you are saying, "Where are you going with this?" Though some of you hardcore neocons already know.
