The historical record informs us of what the words of the Second Amendment meant when the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791.

Onside believes words have meaning. The other side constantly changes meanings of words to fit their politics. I’ll go along with the meaning of the U.S. Constitution assigned at its birth. 😂

The 2nd Amendment was enacted,first and foremost,as a check on bad politicians. My primary reason for owning a firearm is to let politicians know that I am not completely helpless if they "go too far".

Self defense is a secondary concern...and I don't hunt.

We became a nation due to a Revolutionary War kicked off by the attempt to confiscate privately owned arms thwarted by the actions at Lexington and Concord. Just based on that, that anyone could think the 2nd Amendment meant anything other than the individual right to keep and bear arms, is just a sign of insanity and/or disingenuousness.

“But...’” the soft-in-the-head lib replies,”...there were no AR-15s, in those days.” And the sheep nod their heads.
