Great site, and great quotes. I must say that I'm suspect regarding one big presumption of the forefathers: that an armed populace would always overwhelm the government in times of need. I worry that in the modern day this is not the case. Especially since there are whole classes of arms open to the government that average individuals cannot afford and are not permitted to own. 20mm Autocannons with an "indiscresible" rate of fire sorta take the sails out of the notion that we can all grab our revolvers and march on Washington if the government gets too far out of line.

Not like I expect marshall law to be instituted anytime soon, I'm just sayin'.
