I agree but what makes him effective changes as the nature of war changes. We don't need to confine us to muzzle loaders in an era of high tech warfare.

And biological or nuclear warfare is unnecessary for effective militia preparedness. A bazooka might be.

Currently the registration process and taxes are so high for "assault weapons" that most citizens cannot afford to own them lawfully.
