We don't have a real government any more, we just have the Rule of Five (black-robed commissars).

If and when they declare the 2nd amd pertains today only to the national guard, or other such nonsense, they will learn that the Rule of Five is not the final rule, not the last trump card in the deck of liberty.

The founders put the 2nd amd into the BOR for a reason, and it had nothing to do with duck hunting.

You are correct and also it does not mean the National Guard.

It means every citizen with good character.

But that was when there were citizens.

The citizens have long since traded their freedom for free government money and the government chins and shackles that go with it and have thus become "civillians".

The difference between a citizen and civillian:

1. Citizens have rights given to them by Almighty God and protected and preserved by law.
Civillians have privileges given and taken by governmental whim.
2.Citizens are part of the government even though they have other occuptions.Citizens also have leaders [they may be elected] The leaders they elect do not fear them.Citizens are equal tp the people they instillto lead them. Example: the old common law Hue and cry: In othr words, the entire village pursued the thief.
Civillians have professional politicians. The politicans are superior to the civillains, especially in the minds of the media and the politicans. Civillians have every aspect of their life regulated by government bureaucrats from the house they are allowed to build to the time that they can use the bathroom. The civillians are feared and held in the basest of contempt by the politicians.

I will conclude with:

Citizens can also do the one thing that distinguishes a free individual from a slave. Own and possess arms personally, not through a policeman.

How does the United States compare to the above?

Bump.

"The founders put the 2nd amd into the BOR for a reason, and it had nothing to do with duck hunting."

I guess it all depends on your definition of 'duck' hunting. There are a lot of people out there who be well advised to 'duck'.
