The only reason the 2nd amendment doesnt says “The federal government shall maintain a well equipped standing army” is because the war of 1812 hadn’t happened yet.
Technically, you have a 2nd amendment to form organized community militias (ostensibly for defense if your town is invaded or something), but y’all don’t seem to want to remember that part.
Yeah…if we are invaded by tRump brown shirts…we can band together. Look, I am not a gun guy. I have a handgun because I was young once and it happened, it’s been loaded twice. A shotgun because quail are delicious and a 30-06 because targets at range were cool before I had kids. Not war weapons or comparable to a lot of my local gun fetishists neighbors. If the Right wants to talk about 2nd amendment and protecting themselves from the government…all I am saying is that it works both ways.
We don’t have a 2nd amendment to mince words.
