We needed a militia when the standing army was non-existent or insufficient. It was always expected to take commands the same as the military from a lawfully elected government.
But gun nutters talk of the 2A as if its purpose were to allow citizens to overthrow the government if it got out of line. This is so absurd on so many levels. So rather than except the result of a lawful election, each individual is given a veto power in the form of a gun? Crazy. And how exactly are they expected to overthrow the government? Just start shooting police, service men and elected officials? Clearly not a rational justification for guns and I'm against arming anyone who thinks like this.
no it would be in the form of a civil war. and just by judging how the last one went...it would not end well.
And that isn't a reason for gun control?
Believe me, if Texas ever wanted to secede from the union, we'd put a fence up along that border in a heart beat.
