“The whole point of the 2nd Amendment is arming a MILITIA. You don’t arm a militia with deer rifles that hold three shells.”

Sorry, but you are wrong about that.

The 2nd Amendment clearly states that the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The People are independent of a militia (in other words, the People can form a militia if they want, or not). However, a militia is wholly dependent on an armed People, and cannot effectively exist without one. So, which comes first? An armed People, or a militia? Simple logic.

A travesty of logic, that was. I’ll stand by my statement.
