FPrice / Blackhawk,

What does the constitution say? What does the 2nd Amendment say? What does Joyce Lee Malcolm say? The "right" is a development of the militia! Oleg's point of the Finnish example is precisely the way in which the "militia" would have been intended to work; RKBA along Swiss (and arguably Israeli) lines rather than the current situation.
