Do you honestly believe that an unfunded, untrained people's militia could stand against any organized modern military?

Not toe to toe, I got to tell ya though...an unfunded, untrained people's militia is doing a pretty good job of harassing an organized modern military in a few countries around the world.

That is the point of the second amendment. It stems from a group of people who harassed, and eventually overcame the best military power of the day.

So, no I don't think the penmen would throw that in unless they really meant that it was necessary to the security of a free State. I think they knew exactly what they were doing, and why.

Not recommended for the security of a free state, but necessary.

No matter how you slice the second amendment up and look at it, I think it will stand.
