Do you think the Second Amendment means that the right of 'local, state and national governments' to keep and bear arm shall not be infringed, YES or NO?

Yes. Can you provide a legitimate reason why people in government can't have the right to keep and bear arms?

You: Yes.

Me: Credit for giving a straight answer. Good luck with that position.

You: Can you provide a legitimate reason why people in government can't have the right to keep and bear arms?

People in government, as citizens with unalienable rights, have the RKBA. Governments don't have the RKBA. You're conflating what shouldn't be conflated.

Let's try the Tenth Amendment with your novel interpretation of the term 'people':

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the local, state and federal governments.

Do you not see how laughable your position is?
