The second amendment reads:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. "

What constituted a well regulated Militia at that time? Ownership of guns, the main weapon of the militia/army until WWI. Since then, technology has taken off. I, for one, do not like the fact that I cannot own a tank. It doesn't have to be state of the art, but a fully functional Patton tank would do the trick.

With that, I would feel part of the Militia and would have the ability to defend my freedoms from anyone who dared to set foot on my property.

Of course, in our current Nanny State, I am regulated and legislated down to small arms. Fat lot of good that will do me when the Chinese army is coming down Post Road. Plus, I will feel safe taking my children to school in my tank in case there is a mass shooting there. To the movies too.

I want the guvmint to get off my back and let me bear the arms that will make me sleep safely at night.
