Sorry for responding to such an old message (almost 3 years old). LOL. Did you save that? I think what I meant was that, originally, the notion was that individuals needed guns to protect themselves from Uncle Sam. The framers were suspicious of too strong a government. But now we can't protect ourselves from our government with guns. Look what our military did to Saddam. A bunch of us, even all of us, with muskets or even machine guns wouldn't stand a chance. So there's no point in having guns for the original reason.
