Everybody can find a favorite quote in the Federalist Papers
Authored by: Charles888 on Monday, December 24 2012 @ 01:42 PM EST
"If a well-regulated militia be the most natural defense of a free country, it ought certainly to be under the regulation and at the disposal of that body which is constituted the guardian of the national security".
The FP are basically a debate used to hash out what they agree on. Not everything is agreed upon and made it in the Constitution. But throughout, a WELL REGULATED MILITIA is thought off as a defensive force and to be called upon when needed. It is actually no different from long standing Swiss defensive strategy to ensure their independence. The idea is that if it is too costly to invade Switzerland because their defensive force is all over the place it would not be worth it. It is also quite similar to Ex-Yugoslav defensive dogma (of course does not work when these weapons end up used to fight each others).

You need to read that article I posted the
link to.

Back then, people kept their weapons for the
militia in a single place, an armory. They
still have armories, even in NY city.
