I don't live in the United States, so the Bill of Rights is meaningless to me.

Also, I don't agree with the "recognizing pre-existing rights" argument, so arguing that the Bill of Rights should apply to everyone irregardless of where they live is also meaningless to me.

Finally, small arms may have been useful for staging a successful military coup in the 1700's, and would have been pretty useful up until World War I. However, the invention of the tank and the invention of the bomber have rendered the idea that a militia can do much against a fully armed force to be null.
