And by the way: I took a look now at this bill of rights and in this context it looks to me the second amendment would guarantee every state of the USA an own army. I guess the current military structure of the USA is illegal in context of this second amendment.
Well clearly you can’t read and/or you have a signifcant reading comprehension problem - because the 2nd Amendment says no such thing.
I doubt that you are right. I'm normally very good in sensing what ancient cultures think when they say something. I guess the basic idea of this second amandment is it that every state of the USA has an own army - supported from the own citizens. A similar system exists in Switzerland. Everyone has a gun at home, because he is ready to defend the own country and the neutrality of their multi-ethnic country.
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.
It’s one sentence, plain as day, cut & dry. The people have a right to keep and bear arms. Not the military. The
people.
You are the US-American. It's your constitution. But I think this law was made once from people who had used muzzle loaders. In average 1 shot per minute. Every 7th shot was a malfunction. After 25 shots they needed a new flint and after 60 shots the rifle was not able to be used any longer because of the massive dirt and had to be cleaned first.
An AR-15 today fires about 700-1000 shots within a minute. This is comparable with an army of about 500 men in the time of history when this amandment was made.
To make fire effective, the rate has to be much lower than that. and I do not believe that rate of random fire is even possible/
{... According to the
Bushmaster AR-15 manual, the firearm has a maximum effective rate of
45 rounds per minute — ...}
But that does not matter, because although the firearms are much deadlier now than in the days of the founders, the enemy, whether drug gang, thief, invader, etc., also has that rate of fire. Like the Korean grocers defending their stores in the LA riots. Now every had to keep up with the standard.
