Literally all the constitution says is that burgers get to own guns and form a militia. Nothing more. If you were to follow it without any dumbass interpretation, it would just look like Switzerland. The mental gymnastics that have been performed to even allow shit like concealed carrying is the equivalent of interpreting “speedy trial” as a drag race in the court parking lot.
Trump voters are off by like an insignificant amount for most of these too. But according to democrats, he’s a communist KGB Putin agent. So once again, Trump vs Biden is just communist infighting
That part of the Constitution was also written at a time when we were still debating on if we were going to have a standing military. The original wording allowed for those state militia to be called up to national service if the fed needed them. Slave-owning members of the Constitutional Convention who represented the South rejected this idea that the federal government could call up their militias because it would leave their states with no one to protect them from slave uprisings. These militias collaborated with the Southern Slave Patrols.
