I Have Random Thoughts

I swear, if I hear one more person say "we need guns in case we have to overthrow the government," I'm going to puke. Anyone who thinks that is the last person who should own a gun.
People always forget the part about "a well-regulated militia." "Regulation" by definition is from the government. The idea was to have citizen's militias that could be called up in case of need, rather than a standing army. Note that Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution limits fiscal appropriations for the Army to two years, unlike the Navy which has no such limit. Militias were to be funded as needed (for example, to repel an invasion), then disbanded when the crisis had passed. Citizens were to own their own firearms but were still to be under government regulation, to ensure that they were trained and available.

The idea that people could just buy whatever firearm they want with no oversight and no responsibility for defending the country would have been foreign to the framers of the Constitution.
No, people like you are. The ones who are xenophobic nationalists.

BTW Hitler never took anyone's guns away. That is a lie promoted by the NRA to fool people like you.

The founding fathers never said there was only to be one militia. Besides the US army are supposed to be on the side of the civilians not protecting a corrupt government.

So according to you, I should be able to buy a machine gun or a rocket launcher, because the government has them. Why stop there? We should all have our own nukes.

Well the 1st amendment gives you the right to say such drivel. Of course it doesn't give you the right to be listened to. Good bye shit face.
People like you are the reason hitler took over the NE
