"it's a state power to arm or disarm citizens at will. Why would you want that?"That's the same question the Founders asked themselves. So they wrote the second aamendment to prevent the federal government from infringing the ability of a state to arm themselves and form a Militia.

You can't have a well-regulated militia without arms, so we're pretty well screwed. Nice work.
