Will the Second Amendment survive?

A militia is not the Army. Although the Army Reserve is a militia, it is a part of the Army. There are militias in the States that are not part of the Army.

June 14th, 1774 the Continental Army of the United States was formed. There were also militias separate from the Army at that time.

The Bill of Rights was ratified in 1789. There was a well founded Army, Navy, and Marine Corp. The writers of the Bill of Rights new the difference between the Army and a militia.

Yes all that is true but where did the Army eventually come from. The peoples militia became the army despite the Constistution, the Bill of rights the ammendments etc. I firmly believe that the 2nd Ammendment written in it's day was to lay the foundations for the army today. Politics.

Resolved, that a General be appointed to command all the continental forces, raised, or to be raised, for the defense of American liberty.

The above resolution of the 2nd Continental Congress, on 14 June 1775 established the beginnings of the United States Army.

The Army had been well established for 14 years, it didn't eventually come from anywhere. It was there. The writers new the difference between the militias of several states and the then Continental Army.
