https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... The Militia Act of 1903 makes an organized militia, but anyone not part of that is in the reserve militia if they are a man between 17-45. So, most of the people he is trying to prevent from having guns could still have them under this amendment. This doesn't count states that would just make everyone in their state automatically part of the "state" militia to bypass this nonsense.

Others are skeptical saying that many new technologies, such as the printing press, bar-codes, and several others, have also created fears about the beginning of the end."

As a member of the 4-legged RocoCup Soccer team at my school, I wonder what will happen to the 4-legged division. Many schools have graduate programs devoted to RoboCup. I guess the innovation from these schools will now just disappear or be up into other programs. Oh well, nothing ever lasts...
