Question, the Constitution doesn’t say anything about people owning firearms. That’s an amendment. The Constitution instantiates the Militia with:

“To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;”

So then, the U.S Military is prohibited from these in the Posse Comitatus Act. Which is a law, not a constitutional enumeration or amendment.

Leads me to believe that the Posse Comitatus act is unconstitutional.

Anybody else?

Or perhaps the US military is unconstitutional? Or at the very least, not what the framers had in mind when they wrote and ratified the constitution.
