As a strict constructionist, I would like to advocate for the intent of the writers of this article.
Seems to me that those who keep and bear arms ought to be enrolled in a well regulated militia, currently known as the National Guard or the military reserve. These citizens would be trained and ready should our nation require their services when we are threatened by Native Americans or forces of the British, French or Spanish governments. |

*SIGH!* Another ignoramus who thinks that the right to keep & bear arms applies only to an organized force.
It's "the right of the people," not a right of the collective.
Doesn't "the right of the PEOPLE" mean anything? |

| A strict constructionist should realize that well regulated at the time meant well trained ! And note that the National Guard is now controlled by the Federal government, and is NOT the militia envisioned by those old dead white guys. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
