Gentlemen. I think we may be barking up the wrong tree. We all know what the Second Amendment says. Do you know what is in Title 10 of the US Code? Buried in that mess of Federal Law is the legal description of the militia. The official militia, the "unofficial" militia, etc. We all know the official militia is the National Guard, no arguement there. But the unofficial militia? What's this? All able bodied men from ages (if I remember correctly) 17 to 45, if they have never served in the military. If you have served, up to age 60. Now I have done my military time, so have a working knowledge of our battle rifle. I'm also 60, so I am out of it for all practical purposes. But it is the none military people that concern me. They have no training in the weaponry of this country. They are also, by law unable to have this weapon in their possession for training. It says "A well REGULATED MILITIA etc. Regulated in this context, I believe, means WELL TRAINED. The National Guard is trained, but the others? No. Maybe someone who is versed in Constitutional Law would like to look into this further. It is my firm belief that because of Title 10, and the Second Amendment, all anti-gun laws are ILLEGAL!. Sorry for the shouts, but I am as Pro-gun as Slick Willie is Anti-gun. You know, Chairman Mao once said that power came from the barrel of a gun. Slick Willie wants only his side to have guns. Just a point to ponder.
