Me thinks the author would be horrified to know that our founding fathers had to LEASE warships during the revolutionary war from PRIVATE OWNERS.... in other words, if a man had the money and desire to have a warship, he could order it and have it built... the same for cannon... The idea of the second amendment is to have the citizenry capable of and legally allowed to possess, the same weapons our military has.. this includes ships, planes, tanks, cannon and “machine guns” ... this is to allow the citizenry to overthrow a government gone rogue.....but, the libs can’t have THAT now, can they?

Interesting...did not know that.

Is the idea of the Second Amendment really to let the citizens have the same weapons as the military?

I thought the “right to bear arms” just meant guns. So you’re saying it means citizens should legally be allowed to possess aircraft carriers and tactical nukes?
