Yes, it is and I support it~~
Thomas Jefferson envisioned the needs of the people if there ever came another time that they needed to o*******w an oppressive government. One of the biggest problems our Founding Fathers had was fielding a well "armed" m*****a to fight against the well armed British Army. The Americans frequently fought with hunting rifles against cannons. Being a revolutionary himself, and knowing the problems revolutionaries have, his intent when he wrote the Second Amendment is quite clear. Clearly, the "populace" was his intended beneficiary of the right to keep and bear arms. Gun control advocates want you to forget all about why he wrote that, and the government certainly h**es the idea of being o*******wn, but the reason Jefferson wrote the Second Amendment the way he did is quite clear for anyone who is willing to learn the facts.

m*****a noun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Military organization of citizens with limited military training who are available for emergency service, usually for local defense. In many countries the m*****a is of ancient origin. The Anglo-Saxons required every able-bodied free male to serve. In colonial America it was the only defense against hostile Indians when regular British forces were not available. In the American Revolution the m*****a, called the Minutemen, provided the bulk of the American forces. M*****as played a similar role in the War of 1812 and the American Civil War. State-controlled volunteer m*****as in the U.S. became the National Guard. British m*****a units, begun in the 16th century for home defense and answerable to the county sheriff or lord lieutenant, were absorbed into the regular army in the 20th century. Today various paramilitary organizations, from U.S. w***e s*********ts to revolutionaries in the developing world, use the term m*****a to accentuate their populist origins.
