What's this?

First off I am a gun owner and fully believe in the right to bear arms!

Second, I just stated on this forum recently that the red flag laws give me pause. However I don’t believe that we should have the right to bear any type of arms that may be available, and in fact we don’t. Third what do you think the intent of the well regulated militia was/is?
