No, you are purposely misleading when you quote me. Where, in any of my postings have I proposed in any way, shape or form to remove your weapons.
Guess what, in the US, I don't have my way. As a pacifist, I understand that I'm in a minority and will never have my way. Hey, that's part of the reason why I don't live there. I prefer living in a safe society at this point in my life.

Men were listed twice; once by age ( 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 16-20, 20-30, 40-45 and above 45) and a second time for men "between 16 and 45"
The men between 16 and 45 were to be called up if there was a need for a militia.
