Our founders wanted NO standing armies ... and insisted on including the Second Amendment to assure that we, the people would remain better armed than the new government the founders were creating.
Now we not only have standing armies, armed with weapons that we, the people, are prohibited by force from possessing, but those armies are now apparently "legally" to be used against we, the people ... just as our founders feared.
We live in interesting times.

So it didn't start in the 20th century?
