What plan for the regulation of the militia may be pursued by the national government is impossible to be foreseen. . . The project of disciplining all the militia of the United States is as futile as it would be injurious if it were capable of being carried into execution. . . Little more can reasonably be aimed at with the respect to the people at large than to have them properly armed and equipped ; and in order to see that this be not neglected, it will be necessary to assemble them once or twice in the course of a year.
You see, the thing about dreams is that it’s never really too late to make them come true.
