Since we now have a standing socialist army - that alone makes the 2nd Amendment obsolete
Except for the fact that the fear of a standing army is the VERY reason we have a 2nd amendment.
Funny. I don't see that mentioned in the 2nd Amendment.
That's because you're a brainless parrot.... Here, here are the words of the Founders as to why the 2nd exists...
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops."
- Noah Webster,
An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787
"This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty.... The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible.
Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction."
- St. George Tucker,
Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, 1803
"What, Sir, is the use of a militia?
It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty .... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins."
- Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts,
I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789
"
f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788
