If A Clinton (any Clinton) were President, this article would never have been written. Same for any RAT. The Second Amendment was written at a time by the Founders own writings when a militia was considered to consist of ALL the people, except for a few public officials. Self defense against two legged varmits was a given, just as defense from the savages. But defense from one's own government, now that's a novel idea; even today. One that the likes of the UN does not appreciate...at all! That's why there is the great UN drive to grab our guns.
IIRC, in the 20th Century the world suffered about 10,000,000 people killed by social criminals - vs. about 100,000,000 killed as a matter of government policy.
