Well, everything I've ever read or heard about Keyes position on the 2nd amendment convinces me that he backs it 100%. And he's never been shy about telling people the founders intent. It's not about hunting rabbits or even protecting ourselves from burglers, although that is our God given right. The reason for the 2nd amendment is so that we citizens can keep and bear arms to defend ourselves from a runaway tyranical government.

Now, that I agree with, and have no problems with it. However, again, as shown by an apparent direct quote, Keyes wants us all to be trained and licensed by that same government in order to exercise the 2nd amendment...

So, one day the government becomes a runaway tyrannical government, so we get fed up and go to hem asking to be trained and licensed to defend ourselves from the... oops...
