The second amendment refers to owning guns for the sole reason of a Militia, no other reason; not hunting, not sport, not collectables, just militia. If anyone thinks we need a Militia these days they are not understanding why we pay taxes. We have a military unit ready for battle if need be. I don't see any gun owners dropping what they are doing so they can go fight somewhere. It states men can be called up anytime the state or country wants, no draft just an order to be there. I think most gun owners whould have a problem with that. they would not be taking their own weapon, they would be using one paid for by tax dollars. No, there is no need for a Militia, which is the only reason for the second amendment. If they want to own a gun for Militia reasons have them keep it in a locked down centers where they can only be accessable when a militia is called up. I don't think the gun owners would be preaching the 2 amendment then they would finding ways around the wording then.
