Oddbean new post about login | logout Take a look at the text of the Second Amendment. Whose security does it say it is for? https://image.nostr.build/4ad87a816a648a3dc37ab0a234dafd9f367d16534ce2e7e4948df82e21087ff4.jpg nostr:nevent1qqsgpgk39d8nj3ys4f3mawz3vqpmhrcczczpeaetmnz6s5suvcrpn9qprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj730qgsd4nnrkqxy9ehqzlgqm5vs4yeg8psq9l6e0wzpad00j80y788gfygrqsqqqqqpnwpqqw
Of course, said government was forbidden to keep a standing army, by that same document. I like that arrangement for creating a dependence on The People. Pity it hasn't been honoured in more than a century...
Doesn't the Second Amendment it is for the security of the State?
If the Second Amendment really was for citizens to defend themselves against a tyrannical government don't you think citizens would be allowed to own the kind of weapons the government uses? As Joe Biden once said, how are "The People" going to go up against F-16s? nostr:nevent1qqsvkle55g880y2w6f9q7cmqysyn997c5en3qrcq0qjpnd2gehylmxspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7q3quwjejfyn8j0e7t0cx3ys2h4nsk83fq8a6rz7mw2a7z97mnfwvcjqxpqqqqqqzrgnuzp
