gnu, I don't believe Ron seriously expects gun owners to start parading with the National Guard. I think he's reiterating a point I have made myself, that the Second Amendment is a relic of a far-distant past and therefore ripe for repeal, or whatever it is Americans do with bits of their Constitution that have ceased to work as the founding fathers intended.

Like it or not, the Second Amendment is the foundation stone of all weapons-related law in the United States.
