    Totally in agreement. I researched this rabbit hole before and it goes something like this. When the second amendment was written there was another conveniently forgotten law. It was illegal to have a standing army when not at war. This was largely the purpose of militias. We decided we wanted a standing army and did away with that law. The second amendment should have been abolished at this point. We decided to create the national guard to satisfy the “militia” component and let the second amendment stand. The militia is literally the national guard not jeff in his shitbox dodge dart, surprisingly enough. Its been a while since I read up on it but it goes something like that.
