Actually the 2nd Amendment DOES give us the right to own “combat weapons”.
The founders knew that to fight an effective war you would need arms that are the same if not superior to that of the army you are fighting. In the Revolutionary war we armed with muskets and with rifles. Rifles were superior to the muskets used by the British. That gave us an advantage due to the accuracy of the rifles used. We also used guerrilla tactics to fight and didn’t follow the standard “stand and fire” methods used by many armies of the time.
This writer is a total fool and has little knowledge of the history that lead up to the writing of the Constitution.
If any president did what he is saying then it would be a time to rise up and fight back against any government that would try to keep me from having the arms I need to fight against such tyrants.
We also armed ourselves with cannon taken by force from the government controlled Fort Ticonderoga. These cannon were dragged across the snowy countryside and arranged overnight on the heights above Boston and caused the immediate evacuation of the government's military forces occupying Boston.
