Good post.

Justice Story, appointed to the Supreme Court as an Associate Justice by James Madison in 1811, wrote in 1833:
The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.
I think this is exactly what is in the preliminary stages now. Even though people have been saying this for a couple decades. But I think it is coming to the point where people are tired of not being recognized or ignored. I would still say atleast 20 years off. But if politicians don't start getting there shit together its going to happen.
