Actually, it does mean that anyone has a right to weapons. As for military grade, civilian weapons are not. But even if they were, you and I would have a right to them.
You call it the Militia Amendment. But all things make sense in context. Who was a member of the Militia? At the time when the Amendment was written, what was the Militia?
I doesn't matter. At the time it was written, guns were expensive and very few people owned them. It actually WAS a privilege.
It really didn't make sense at the time, which is why "militias" were eventually replaced by professional military and police forces.
It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE NOW.
Well that has nothing to do with the world today right? Yes, and no. We would have to be invaded before we even tried the Militia thing again. But we do have a similar situation in law today. Under Posse Comitatus, the law that prevents the Army from acting as police, we have the ability of Police to form a Posse. In Georgia, it is this law.
Um, yeah, and we saw how awful of an idea that was with Ahmaud Abery... where a couple of rednecks shot an unarmed jogger. That's all kinds of fucked up.
We know that they expected the Militia to have military grade weapons. And if you say that the big weapons of the era were exempt, I say no. Cannon were available for public sale. How do you think the Privateers we used during the Revolutionary war, the war of 1812, and even the Civil War were armed? They purchased their cannons on the open market.
Again, just because the DEAD SLAVE RAPISTS thought something was a good idea, doesn't make it a good idea.
They thought it was a great idea to bleed people when they got sick. Nobody tell Trump, that might be his next Covid-19 solution. They thought slavery was a good idea.
Does it make sense for Nick Cruz or Adam Lanza or Joker Holmes to be able to walk into a gun store and buy the same weapon our soldiers carry into war? Nope.
