Perhaps you should pay attention before you post. My comments were regarding the military effectiveness of the militia during the Revolution not about the Second amendment.

While 'gorilla' tactics might be effective in the jungle what won the Revolution was Washington's creation of the Continental army.
Militia was very ineffective outside of a few conspicuous exceptions.

Your comments were in reply to Steve's, that: "-- There is no question that their intent was to arm the individual citizens of our country.

You were arguing against Steves 'romantic idea' that the intent was to arm citizens as militia:
"-- around here romaniticization of the militia's role and effectiveness is still commonplace.
Whats 'romantic' about defending our right to own and carry military type arms?
