And that "right to bear arms" is actually supposed to support the existence of a "well-regulated militia," an important qualifying clause in the Second Amendment that those in favor of free access to assault weapons usually ignore.

It would be nice if these jerks would consult a dictionary once in a while. The term "regulated" doesn't always mean "restricted by government." It also means "put in good order," and "conforming to a standard." This just might mean that the militia, when "well-regulated," is actually properly equipped for action, not restricted by idiotic gun-control laws.
