[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Jay: [i]Let's be clear about this. The Constitution says that Congress arms and diciplines the militia. Moreover, the Constitution also says Congress has the authority to make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces[/i] Yes, but the militia only becomes an actual part of the military at such time as they are called into service, ala a draft or invasion. Thus, the regulation portion does not apply to private citizens. Further, even if it did, it would ONLY apply to able-bodied men between the ages stated earlier. And yet further, even if the above qualifications did not exist, the second ammendment overrides the original text. It IS an ammendment, after all. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] So, the highest law on the subject would be the most recent related ammendment to the Constitution, that being that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Game over. You loose. [/QB][/QUOTE]
