If only there was like, some organization they were a part of that could hold them accountable. You know, it would be like some sort of international community. I guess that's just a pipe dream.

funny how no one mentions that 2A is not for hunting or recreation... it is for us to keep and bear arms for FIGHTING because WE regular American citizens are the militia.
also no one mentions that arms refers to weapons in common use... so whatever tech is available at the time... and for us that IS the AR-15 platform which btw, it is amazing.

I'm a left leaning moderate and I'm a gun owning Veteran.
You don't have to be a "war hawk" to understand that what this window licking fucktard is doing in regards to foreign policy right now, isn't in America's best long term interest.

Presupposing that you are a member of the National Guard, Army / Marine reserves, etc., then I agree.
"We the people," as a whole, are not well-regulated. The Militia are a subset of the populace - who are trained as to arms, discipline, battlefield tactics, and the chain of command - not the whole of it.
This was true in the 1780s, and it remains true today.
