militia??? you ask why people in this country should have guns? What is a Militia ? The unorganized or reserve militia is a legal and lawful part of the armed forces of this nation. It is a military organization recognized by the Second Amendment of the Constitution; Title 10 Section 311 USC; The Dick Act of 1903; The National Defense Act of 1916; and affirmed by numerous court decisions. There is no ambiguity, the unorganized citizens militia is not the National Guard or the state select militia under the governor, or part of the organized armed forces of the federal government. It is literally the entire body of the armed citizenry. Although the unorganized militia can be called up for lawful (Constitutional) purposes, it is not under the direct control of any state or political jurisdiction. It represents the authority and power of the people over the government and stands as the last defense of the citizens of this country against any domestic tyrants. Purpose: The purpose of the militia as defined by the Constitution is to: 1. Enforce the laws of the Union (The Constitution) 2. Suppress insurrections 3. Repel invasions These provisions affirm the right of the people to defend themselves and their republican form of government from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. That means that the people, as the militia have the right to fight, if necessary, oppressive government, to prevent the usurpation of the Constitution (the supreme law of the land) by anyone, including the federal government. The authority, duty, and obligation of the citizens, acting as the militia, is clearly expressed in our Declaration of Independence: That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it..., further ... it is the right, it is their duty, to throw off such government,... Together these provisions codify the natural rights of all citizens to defense of self, family, and country. The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -Thomas Jefferson
