2nd Amendment: "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."
During the American Revoution the vast majority of American troops were
private armies, not state militia. Individual soldiers could decide to
drop out of the unit at any time.
The liberal press over here has tried to redefine every other word of
the 2n Amendment. They even tried to use the African defination of the
word "militia" to try to tell us what our fore fathers meant back in the
1700s.
"The People" refers to the civilian population of America.
