The Constitution, Part IV
The militia is defined as a body of soldiers in a state enrolled for discipline, but not engaging in actual service except in emergencies, as distinguished from regular troops, whose sole occupation is war or military service.
AMENDMENT 2
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Very Important. Our founding fathers knew the need of a well armed people in order to protect themselves from the ever present threat of government corruption.
May we always be able to bear arms!
