    Commenting, as always, to say that’s not how the 2A was meant to be used. That’s a modern interpretation. Read it for yourself. It’s clearly talking about having militias ready to fight an invading country, as was standard practice at the time. Standing professional armies were unusual, especially for newly formed small nations.

      Well I just think that whole part about “being necessary to the security of a free State” could be speaking about foreign or domestic threats.
