That's way wrong, but I don't have the references to prove it, Aunty does. She posted some really good info on another board reference the 2nd Amendment, militias, and the NG. Basically, they are not the same thing in any way. And there is no way the DoD would ever allow its members to "keep and bear arms" in the manner of the 2nd Amendment. It would be a security and logistic nightmare.

I believe you'll find through study that every president believes the 2nd Amendment applies to every citizen of the US. It's kinda their job to believe that. Also you'll probably find through some study that Bush supports gun control just like past presidents have. He's really not the NRA messiah you all think he is.
