Courts ponder the second amendment

Morrigoon, I don't know what you're on about. Street Gangs know all about firearms, but they are not ready to fight off an invading army. Oh, perhaps they'd be better at it than I would, but that doesn't make them battle-ready.

We have a volunteer army that leeches from the bottom rungs of society, where we keep the disposable humans.

Training is needed to fight a war, whether an invasion of our shores or, of course, if we don't want to go back more than a hundred and fifty years, our invasion of other shores.

It's ludicrous to pretend that anyone who can shoot a gun is ready to engage in battle.

In any case, since there are no militia and there's near zero chance of the citizenry keeping weapons capable of fighting off modern armies, especially that of the United States, the rationale for the right to bear arms which you are supporting, and which is the ONLY rationale in the 2nd amendment, is patently absurd.
