There were no such thing as an organized police force when the Constitution was written. The closest analogy was troops sent in to keep order.

“There were no such thing as an organized police force when the Constitution was written. The closest analogy was troops sent in to keep order.”

I would steer clear of that line of argument. If it is successful then the libs can say: “There was no such thing as semi automatic breach loading rifles (or whatever) when the constitution was written. The closest analogy was the Brown Bess or Kentucky Long Rifle used to protect the home.”

Modern police forces are militarized units is a better argument.
