That’s great and all that but the 2A is far more than just a right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. The right to self protect is a God given natural right that no one can take away even if the government SWATs your homes and steals your self-protection tools aka firearms.

Last I heard, regardless of what the man-made law says (if they changed it), that’s still theft which would make the perps stealing them the criminals regardless of the uniform they might be wearing.

So simple, even a corrupt politician should be able to understand it.

The government officials have a different opinion about that. And they certainly can take away your "God given rights" in practice.

Your rights are truly restraints on the power of government and other groups. Officials do not like restraints.

If the government will not abide by those restraints, you have no rights. Force is the ultimate solution for that problem. Lesser solutions include non-compliance and passive resistance.

Usually, the government wins if things come down to force. But not always. And there are costs to using force. Even the government does not have unlimited capability there.
