And, apparently, the part about being a "well-regulated" militia goes right out the window.

200 years ago men knew how to use and care for gun the way most people know how to drive cars today. That kind of comparision of the term militia isn't apt, because it presumes that your 21st century man (and apparently not women) has the same skillset.

I'm all in favor of well-regulated, disciplined and trained civilians carrying and knowing how to use arms as part of their civic duty. Perhaps more importantly, being trained in when not to use them.

I'm not in favor of labelling a mis-mash of people who can afford to buy or manage to steal weapons, many of them responsible guns owners but a whole bunch of them NOT -- a "militia."
