re: This is a very potent argument against the "2nd amendment means militia" talking point

Oh, I wasn't arguing against having a standing army, I was arguing against your opinion that the average guerilla group couldn't be very effective against invaders. I assure you, we could.
I was in both the army and Marine Corps, but the most effective things that I know, come from what I have learned out here in the world working around heavy industry, and there are a lot of people that know the same stuff that I do.
