Well, it's not too many people with guns, it's too many wrong ones.

LL> The states have the right to have a "well regulated militia" -
LL> with the people in those militias having the right to "keep and
LL> bear Arms".  But where does it say that all people throughout
LL> the land have an absolute right to "keep and bear Arms" - with
LL> no regulation of what kinds of arms they may own?

The second amendment was made up around 1780, when a well-trained soldier could
fire up to four rounds per minute, when it was still common to use swords for
fighting and the fastest means of transport was a horse. I case of an invasion
or a military coup, swords and muskets could just make scratches in the
camouflage paint of the tanks. So, the current situation is a little obsoloete
and the question is, which way to go. Does everyone need RPGs and guided ground
to air missiles for self defense?
Scratches on the paint will surely not make a tank driver turn around - even if
paint scratches are not covered by the insurance policy. :-)
