“What I dont support is assault rifle availability.”

Please define what is and is not an “assault rifle.”

“Hey, how about we bring back machine guns?
Bazookas?
Rocket propelled grenades?”

Exactly as the founders intended.
The 2nd Amendment isn’t about hunting, competition target shooting or anything else like that. The 2nd Amendment is about WE THE PEOPLE protecting ourselves from our own government. Plain and simple.
Unfortunately the democrats have been trying to take guns away from people since the slaves were freed.

‘The 2nd Amendment is about WE THE PEOPLE protecting ourselves from our own government.’

OK; but quite obviously the 2A was about maintaining the various state’s militias, which at the time were the front line against an attack from a foreign enemy, as a regular federalized armed force was years from becoming a reality...

if the threat to the militia’s function happened to come from some state’s government, yes, the amendment pertains to that as well...
