A free people ought not only to be armed but disciplined; to which end, a uniform and well digested plan is requisite: and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories, as tend to render them independent on others for essential, particularly for military supplies.
Hmmm.
Let me think.
Most individuals, even with long range hunting rifles,
will be easily killed by professional soldiers.
But a 'well armed and well regulated' (trained) militia
would be almost as good as soldiers and would give a
group of guys a fighting chance.
But I like what you quoted first, more.
'We' have as much to fear from an over-reaching
government as we do from terrorists.
Zim.
