Articles of Virginia

Please go to the search engines and look up the Articles of Virginia and the Anti-federalist papers. The Articles of Virginia and its bill of rights was a foundation for the federal bill of rights. Please go and examine the purpose of the \'right to bear arms for the militia\' in this bill of rights. 
One of the key reasons for the second amendment was to ensure that the states had the right to raise and arm militias (a police force) rather than have a dependence on the federal government as the sole policing agency.
