Where to Start?

The rebuttal examines the very spirit of the Constitution. Our Second Amendment rights guarantee us the right to keep and bear arms without infringement. What's missing from the average gun owner's argument is the critical first portion of the amendment right: "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state." This short phrase not only brings up the question of the government's right to control guns at all, but the rights of the people to form militias for the protection of their states. 

What? I'm not even sure what is being said here.

Adding all the assets of demographic areas and resources, it's doubtful the federal government would favor very well the formation of separate state militias. Nor has it dealt kindly with self-appointed militias that have sprung up randomly throughout the U.S. There is a high level of distrust on both sides, a suspicion that either the population will turn on the government or the government will turn on the citizens. 

Sheesh. Try the phrases "unorganized militia United States" and "standing army" in your favorite search engine. 

Then think about it this way. Who cares what "the government" wants? The government is of, by and for the people. If the people prefer a milita system to a regular army then so be it.
