I'm sorry, maybe I'm wrong or misinformed or whatever but I thought the reason for the 2nd amendment was so people could protect themselves from government tyranny. This would make an effective military arm EXACTLY the type of thing that would and maybe even should be sold. I understand the dangers inherent in this opinion but the constitution is what it is. If the government is the only entity which has effective combat arms then the 2nd amendment is weakened.
