@protecttruth @Dahlialith Yes, it really is that simple. It's about the need for a "well regulated militia" that cannot be denied arms by a federal government. It's not about citizens needing to take up arms against the government. The whole point was that a standing army would not be necessary if a "well regulated militia" were available. Not that everyone should be armed with military assault weapons, but that the "well regulated militia" rights to such arms would not be infringed upon.
