Here's an interesting twist I've not heard yet.

Liberals have always interpreted the 2nd amendment to the constitution as the right to keep and bear arms in the context of a well regulated “civilian militia.”

If the libs can successfully create a national civilian militia, they can then begin to restrict the individual right to keep and bare arms unless that individual serves in the well regulated civilian militia.

No more weapons in regular civilians hands.

Hmmm, sumfin to think bout.

They can take mine after they take my life.

I've been thinking lately it's looking more and more like it won't end peacefully for me.

Exactly. All power in the hands of the Secret Police.

Straight out of the playbook. Brilliant.

The argument you present here is basically what DC argued inthe Heller case, that one only had a right to a weapon if one was in a militia.
