When again are americans using their right to bear arms to protect themselves against an authoritarian government? If you dont do it now never again use this argument for the second amendment.

If we go by the text, only "americans" have that right. Now, the important question is "what is an american"? What characterizes a "non-american" according to the founding fathers?
White male wealthy supremacists?
Dammit! Foiled by racists once again!
........you'd think I'd put /s, but no.
I don't doubt that is how the current supreme court would interpret it. This approach of asking "how the founding fathers would think" results in exclusion of non-white citizens. On the other hand, lack of atandardized identification documents in the USA result in this mess.
Are you under the impression that the founding fathers weren't slave holders themselves?
No
