missionaries and machine guns

[gogo gomez]

are millitant groups or millitias protected by the u.s. constitution? as an individual i am told i have the right to bear arms but what part of the constitution quotes this "individual right"? Also would i be right in thinking that Che believed guerrilla warefare was the way to go? or did it apply only for such a time period?
i only ask because im curious to know if association or membership in a private army is considered "evil" or "wrong". please help me if you can. thanks.

He thought democratic means should be exhausted first.

Yeah, Gogo, don't be getting any wild ideas, especially with the Patriot Act enforced.

A citizen of the US has the right to bear firearms in the US, if the citizen is 18 or older and the firearm is legal and registered. There is a lot of stipulations as to what constitutes legality of a firearm; i.e. a silencer on a gun is illegal, a sawed-off shot gun is illegal, any kind of assault weapon or police weapon, and you can't stockpile them. And yeah, belong to a militia that is not the parcel of the US military is illegal.

oh... the right to bear arms falls under the Second Amendment.

Here's some sites. I didn't check them thoroughly, so I don't know if they are some right-wing NRA or what.

all these gun control laws, but the irony is you can go into K-mart and purchase a rifle and the bullets for it over-the-counter. Ha!
