Delete comment from: The War on Guns
I like to keep up my optimism by seeing both the good and the bad. I give Soo Yang credit for actually reading and attempting to find the meaning of the Second Amendment. The majority of disarmers don't even bother, and have never seen nor used a firearm. (You'd think this creates some type of disqualification.)
Unfortunately, like myself and many others who grew up with the falsely-promoted idea that militia was superseded by the National Guard, he has been trained to believe that the amendment must fall within strict limitations pertaining to government-organized civil defense.
He does, however, acknowledge the possibility of civil defense against a domestic government. We know that "guncontrol" is a euphemism for "citizen disarmament", so it must occur to him that he both acknowledges the possibility of politically irreconcilable differences with an authoritarian government and but proposes that this government should also be the keeper of our weapons. Does that make any sense?
