Doesn't it seem like both ends are being played by the same people?
In a practical sense, the second amendment is entirely pointless as its intended purpose is obsolete.
I've heard this argument many times, and I don't buy it. We can't even properly subdue small population countries in the middle east. How many people are there in the Taliban? All the drones and spy satellites and we haven't taken out them yet. There are 300 million Americans. Armed and motivated and there is very little the US army could do.
