51. Pick many nits, lately?
Fine, I'll amend my previous statement.. show up sans ID and try to vote.

What makes you think that the founding fathers wanted an unrestrained right to any and all arms?

There were regulatory measures in place before and after the second amendment was ratified.

They wanted the populace to be able to counter an over-reaching army. That doesn't mean equality.

In modern warfare, guerrilla tactics can effectively drain resources without having equivalence. Especially on our own territory where there'll be little difference in appearance, skin color, or language, and no demarcations on a map to say 'across this line is the enemy'.
