relevant I mean: The right to bear arms was perhaps arguably a sensible thing at the time when the US was first formed because there was no army or FBI or CIA or really any state protection for the citizens, the right to bear arms should have really been reviewed when the federal army was formed in the later half of last century, after all the army is there to protect the people and that is what the right to bear arms was, I believe, intended for.
