Sorry, I was referring to the US Constitution's Bill of Rights. |
Just to know, the US bill of rights was written with the Constitution wasn't it? (1787)
Well as you know in Europe and elsewhere the use and means of violence (guns) to protect the public order is the State's exclusive monopoly. Why wouldn't it be so in the US too?
The simple existence of the term "militia" (even if controlled) directly implies a fundamental distrust vis a vis the State or worst, a weak state(see Lebanon).
