Maybe I should point out where I am going with this.
If 2A is limited to "homeland defense," is it still in existence at all? Are any federal policy decisions made with any respect the homeland defense aspect of gun ownership.
If you went to congress and said this bill should not be passed because it impeded on my right to protect myself from tyrannical governments foreign and domestic would you get anything but laughter?

I am really starting to believe this country needs a constitutional convention.
