Reply #315: State Militias or Federal Standing Army [View All]

[fightthegoodfightnow]

Whether or not the militia is in reference to the state militia's or the federal government's army, one thing is certain: they didn't write the US Constitution to have it overthrown by any army. The Constitution clearly addresses treason in Article 3, so the notion that we have the right to own guns to overthrow our own government and by extension our Constitution is not, in my opinion, well founded. It is, however, very clear in the Preamble why the Constitution was created: 'We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Certainly, DC's law does just that.
