what? I never said anything about this, pure lunacy.You are correct in that it doesn't enshrine the "right" to shoot up a crowded theater, for example, only the right to keep and bear.
The 2A gives the government the right to regulate the militia, and that militia is allowed to bear arms. The militias were to protect against a centralized military threat.
Not granting you the privilege to walk around town with a gun how you see fit.
That is a common misconception from the gun community, Imo. don’t get me wrong I fully support people being able to use firearms to protect themselves and use them how they see fit. I just don’t see this protection coming from the second amendment, like many people like to claim, if you understand original purpose of the 2A
The arms you would need to fight off a modern day military would include F-15’s and Nukes, according to our current president. You’re not shooting down a C-130 gunship in orbit raining 40 Mike Mike down on you with your AR 15..
The idea of the original purpose of the 2A, standing up to a centralized military threat with proper arms got thrown out the door a century ago.
Edit- the 2 A has been neutered to a shadow of its original intention
