This interpretation is born out of poor research if not down right purposeful misinformation.

The Federalist Papers, written by the guys who where there at the time, make it clear that citizen bodies of armed men could muster in times of need. Examples of need are discussed.

The point is they were to be armed from their personal store whatever that may be, but certainly privately owned weapons kept in their domicile was the idea.

The ability of the citizenry to muster and arm outside of any federal or state muster is the example. This is the “keep and bare” provision and has nothing to do with sanding armies state or federal.

In fact the example of an armed citizenry mustering to defend itself against a federal despot sending federal troops against them is used by Madison in the papers.

The second amendment is the citizens amendment and has nothing to do with state or federal powers to muster armies. The term militia is used in its most basic terms, a citizens muster.

“I’ll take the colors back with you any day you want to ride the river!”
“J.T.A., Colors in case you don’t understand are RED WHITE & BLUE and not from where your coming from. In here you are for freedom or against freedom, and the only colors that matter are the true colors.”
“At least he’s not out there stealing tires…or not?”
“When you figure out what’s going on in here you can pick up the colors and take that ride down the river with us.”

WTF?!?

It does not matter what laws Regan did or did not pass, their are thousands of gun laws on the books and none of them stop crime and – that’s a fact!

The issue is about the supreme courts decision and how it’s going to pan out for Colorado (who has an agreement with the U.S. Government,to the right to keep and bear arms, much like the Indians had) and the rest of the country. Some of the best minds on the issue have determined that the only thing good that will come out if this might be to clarify the wording of our right to bear arms. log onto the NRA/ILA web site and see for yourself.
