If you want a gun and consider yourself part of a 'militia', support the abolition of a standing military. That's right, get rid of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and the Coast Guard, and we'll talk. We can keep the National Guard, which is without question a well-regulated militia. And you can have all the guns you want. The Founding Fathers distrusted standing military forces as tools of monarchical tyranny. So if all of your anti-government beliefs are sincere, let's get rid of the military.
Plus our country will save a trillion or so a year in tax dollars.
