[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1068131, member: 17969"] When you say "WRONG" you better put yourself at the top of that list. Militias were disbanded by the Militia act of 1903 when the goverment established the National Guard and ended the "NEED" for a public militia. The states were then protected by a military unit of their own and it wasnt necessary for people to have an arsenal at home. Why do you think the National Guard was created and the Militia concept ended? Ill tell you. The goverment KNEW that a bunch of YAHOOS with guns, disorganized and not "RANKED" as the original militia act called for was a dangerous proposition. Without "ranking" their was nothing more than people with guns. By establishing state protection, their was to be leadership and ranking, thereby, establishing organized protection for the states. By no means did the founders want its citizens to have the kinds of arsenals they have today. Its clear that the intentions of the original militia act "LIMITED" the types of guns, ammo and gear a private person could own. Nowhere in the militia act of 1792 allowed citizens to own whatever they wanted of unlimited ammo. Its time for gun freaks to accept that guns are out of control in this country and we need to notch it down before we become somalia. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
