lol if so, then so what? We'll just have to let tzor unfurl his argument and then refold it.

Why do I need to unfurl my argument? I'm not drunk enough to unfurl an argument; especially my own.
I've only been pointing out that at the time of the constitution, the notion of militias was something done by the states, and according to the constitution when called into the service of the federal government was then placed under the President as "Commander in Chief." The right to bear arms in the Constitution was a provision to allow state authority to maintain militias.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

When I have my militia of programmed robotic monkey drones, I look forward to usurping the throne/presidency.

Sorry andy, the Wicked Witch of the West's monkeys would spank your land based monkeys with a simple air assault.

Did someone mention
Flying Monkies?
I prefer the
Flying Monkey bar. Next time I head back to Key West, I'm going to stop there.
