I can't remember the exact quote or which paper it was in but Hamilton said that all power rests in the hand of "The People" and arms in their hands was a final check upon the gov (AS IN OURS!) to make sure that they are running this country correctly by following the will of the people. I'm not suggesting that we throw a revolution (YET) but when the gov decides that they want to take our guns that is what will happen. If we as a people have no way of fighting then what is to stop the gov from doing what ever they want? Gun control isn't what they are actually after. Power is what they want because they know that once the public is disarmed that they can do whatever they want (Think North American Union and the UN).
