God rest Chris Kyles soul, but I need to make a comment about this.....
Really??? this guy and others want to keep trying to put what life was like in 1776 to 2012??? First off, the guns in that day were single shot muskets (sorry if I make a gun mistake here, I dont know much gun history)..... The founding fathers DID NOT have high powered rifles or guns capable of killing multiple people in a short period of time!! Had they had that, the entire world would be the under US control! (exaggerating)
Guns back then took a minute or to to reload, and only one person was harmed or killed at a time.......

Precisely. That's ALSO all the military had.
The military is comprised of CITIZENS, not special snowflakes. To draw a line and say "citizens" don't "need" something is attempting to create elitism where none belongs.
