Edit: Or as bad as our gun argument is, most people agree you shouldn't be allowed to own a howitzer. So I imagine that would be intent as well. Which seems to be what Scalia was saying.
The Air Force is a great example.
As to the 2A I don't know. Plenty of my friends seem to think that like this (which was posted by an ex-marine over the weekend)
Now, we had a discussion about training and everything too...but there is a movement that believes this was the original intent. And that the times changing to where the US did not need to raise an army from citizens (or a militia) has nothing to do with that original intent.
