Second Amenment Rights

America and the Second Amendment, is it still valid? Oh, I know, there are thousands of people who are screaming that the right to own firearms does not belong to the people, but only to the state militia. I hear a lot of liberals/fascist/socialist/communist insist that if it were not for guns we would not have crime. No one would ever be shot. All those children who accidentally shoot themselves or their friends would be alive if it weren't for those evil guns. The funny thing is, every state and city with the harshest laws against the honest citizen, the most restrictive laws, are also the area's where crime runs ramped.
The questions about the terminology of the Second Amendment has been discusses and talked about over the years. Yet all it takes is for someone to read the intention of the founders to know the answer to these questions. Is the right of ownership reserved for the militia alone or for the people as a whole?
John Madison, our fourth President and author of our Constitution and Bill of Rights has this to say:

"The Constitution preserves "the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation... (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." (The Federalist, No. 46)
Wow, what does this one statement tell us? That every nation that fears it's people is a nation that is against it's people. Look at Adolf Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol-Pot and every other communist and dictator nation on this earth. What was the first thing the government did? Take away the firearms from the people! Why? Because the people will now be subservient to anything the government want to do, any dictate or law can be processed without fear of retaliation from the people. Ask all those millions of Vietnamese that we ran out on, what it meant to be unarmed and unprotected. Ask the Jews what it was like when Germany took away their guns.
We are already at a disadvantage because of the 1968 gun laws, which ironically were taken almost verbatim from Hitlers gun laws. Congress and the socialists have done their best to convince America that the firearms are for "sport shooting and hunting". These statements are far from the truth. Our Second Amendment was designed to follow through with our countries Declaration of Independence. If our government fails to be for the people and by the people, if it decide to take away your rights as stated in the Constitution (not the make believe rights of the liberals), if our government becomes inattentive to the voice of it's citizens, the citizen has the absolute right to reclaim their country. That is what the South did during the War Between the States (1861-65). In an effort to extract themselves from a tyrannical government, as they perceived it, they took up arms, the most advanced arms that they had. During our Revolution we used the most advance firearms of the times, the Brown Bess. Yet our government, in fear of the people has made it illegal to own military grade firearms, a direct violation of the Second Amendment.
I wonder what James Madison would say about our predicament today? Would he favor our laws or have other speeches of wisdom?
