      Just because people think a military needs arms, that doesn’t mean they think their unhinged neighbor needs them. The 2A says a well regulated militia should have arms, not just any rando.

      This wasn’t even a debate until recently. In the Old West every town had a prohibition on guns in town. If they didn’t need them, you don’t.

          You brought up Nazis. It was national armies and navies that defeated them, not randos with handguns.

              You need help if you really believe that. It’s not healthy to be that afraid. You’re not going to be a partizan in a righteous war.

              I am related to many people who fought and died in WW1 and 2. I know Holocaust survivors too, number tattoos and everything. Do you know how many guns they have? Like 3 disused hunting rifles total. Do you know what they say they learned fighting actual Nazis? Live your life and don’t be afraid.

              You don’t need a gun to feel like a big man. It’s a safety blanket for adults. Fear is the thing that will actually kill you. King George III and Hitler can’t hurt you.

        It doesn’t say that. It says “… the right of the people…” meaning the people have the right mentioned. The militia is made out of any rando.

      Did you read their comment? They advocated for the use of force and violence although with more nuance than that.
