@deezthugs @djsumdog @mr_johnblaze @dcjogger where does it say anything about self defense in the 2A? Considering we didn't have a standing army and didn't want one, you could argue it was about defense of the country and/or states, but we know it was to prevent slave revolt because we have the documents to prove it.

@djsumdog @mr_johnblaze @dcjogger @deezthugs i concur. I don't fear walking the streets of Berlin or Ottawa at 1am, but DC? No thanks

@deezthugs @mr_johnblaze @dcjogger @djsumdog there is no straw man here. Virginia would not join the union unless we let them have guns to threaten their slaves. The SC rulings are irrelevant to this discussion.
Maybe you should read what George Mason wrote?
“If the country be invaded, a state may go to war, but cannot suppress [slave] insurrections [under this new Constitution]. If there should happen an insurrection of slaves, the country cannot be said to be invaded. They cannot, therefore, suppress it without the interposition of Congress . . . . Congress, and Congress only [under this new Constitution], can call forth the militia.”

@deezthugs @mr_johnblaze @dcjogger @djsumdog oh ok. So you just get to pick and choose which things to interpret as the Founders intended and which things we want to warp to preserve the status quo. Got it.
