I know you're not going to read this, because you chicken shits always post and then hide as if you've somehow won the conversation. But you are right, except they don't mean you either.

In case you've never actually read the Amendment in its entirety, I'll put it here for your convenience. It's just one sentence, yet the first half is inconvenient for a lot of people so they try to ignore it...

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

The entire thing is in reference to a "well regulated militia". It's not saying every dumbass has a right to a firearm. Something 2A dipshits keep wanting to ignore despite it being half the Amendment.

It also predates the existence of the US military entirely, which should be taken into account since the creation of the US military replaced the need for a well regulated militia.

I read your comment but I disagree with your analysis.

My militia and I train every weekend and no government is going to regulate us.

If you're actually referencing the National Guard, the actual modern militia, then great. But given the way you described it, and that this is a random internet community filled with edge lords, that's unlikely.

You can disagree and LARP it up in the fields all you want, just like those dip shit sovereign citizens and their magical incantations they think make them right.

You're actively watching fascism take over the country in front of you and not doing shit about it because you know you don't actually stand a chance. Your Meal Team 6 buddies ain't accomplishing anything but dying immediately if the military actually gets involved.

Are you gate keeping militias now?
