Where the American Militia went wrong.

[Heimer]

Our government stopped regulating it.

1. The American militia was a slavery enforcement method. That is where they went wrong.

The right to bear arms in the constitution was a nod to slave owners and a means of enforcing slavery.

2. Our country on the other hand, invests all of our money on the military and war paraphernalia.

We do not educate, house or feed the, minds and bodies of our citizens. Because of this we have uneducated, hungry folks with no health care and nothing to live for arming themselves for revolution from within. Our countries could not be further apart and we my friends are on the wrong continent. Our citizens are on the fast track to ruining any quality of life that remained in the United States. We are living in an armed camp of seriously ill folks.

3. I agree that Congress has been neglectful in its obligation to arm and train the militia

All that's left are the Civilian Marksmanship Program and the annual National Matches.

4. Nobody invades the swiss because it's not worth it

Really, what's the point in invading a small mountainous country that has nothing of value?

no huge tracks of farmland, No oil, no huge iron mines, no other huge mineral reserves.

Lots of rugged terrain and bad weather.


Nobody invaded the Swiss before they had guns.

hell, I think the Romans even avoided the area.
