I think that our founding fathers' intention when they framed    Article II of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution - "A well    regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the    right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" -    means what it says. Webster's Dictionary's definition of a militia is:    "1.a part of the organized armed forces of a country liable to call    only in emergency. 2.the whole body of able-bodied male citizens    declared by law as being subject to call to military service." We have    a militia: the Armed Forces and the National Guard. Even if the gun    advocates choose a different interpretation of Article II, this is not    the 18th century.
