Actually when it was written it referred to the state militias...a phrase which oddly is still there but gun nuts seem unable to read. Probably learned that kind of cherry-picking from their fucking bibles!
Quote:"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."
Granted they were talking about a musket and a bayonet not an assault rifle.
Yes the 2a gets misunderstood allllll the time down here in the south. But the musket and bayonet thing....that was of the time period. So that was equal to what the military had. So to me it only makes sense for the most part what the military carries, we can carry. And yes fully auto firearms are legal though the process to acquire them is hellacious.
