2nd Amendment bump.
The militia issue is a red herring. Whatever the reason might have been, it states that the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed.
“Liberals” tend to overlook the fact that the 2nd Amendment is included in the Bill of Rights, rather than being one of the powers enumerated by the Constitution for the government. That alone is noteworthy, since it’s generally understood that the BOR was meant as a protection for the people from the government. Protection for individuals specifically, since collectively the people are the government.
Naturally this line of thinking doesn’t mean too much to a leftist, since respect for the individual is at odds with their general philosophy anyway.
Thanks for the ping, Ultra.
We, the militia, stand ready for whatever is to come.
