Reply #138: No, the 2A was for military-grade small arms in the hands of civilians.

Their 2A was for single-shot, front-loading flintlocks to appease skeptical would-be secessionists.

No, the second amendment was for military-grade small arms to be in the hands of civilians so that civilians could eliminate or at least counter a centralized military force.

We already fought the American Civil War.

Your assertion is that because there was one failed rebellion that no other rebellion would ever be necessary nor successful.

You have no basis from which to make that assertion.

The 2A is obsolete, and today's guns are way too lethal to allow the madness to continue.

Fortunately, the law disagrees with you.
