This is what I did with my afternoon.

Okay perhaps I shouldn't have said unlimited, as someone could infer any manner of things like you indicated, but I still dont see how a conditioned right has been expanded to sport and home defense when militias were not used for those purposes in 1776. Unless you were wealthy enough to hire your own private militia to protect your estate. And again, there was no standing army, thus our lack of one was the founding father's only stated rationale for giving us that right.

But, a standing army won't protect me or my property/family from home invasion out here in the country.
