Rubbish argument. This "tracking" was only to ensure militia members met weapon requirements. They didn't "register" any of their other owned firearms.

Registration of some types of firearms is still registration.

Another rubbish argument. I've seen no proof whatsoever of this in 18th Century America. In fact, Webster's dictionary extols the usefulness of pistols to be concealed.

I could find no such statement in the 1828 (First Edition) Webster's.

Even if it is therein, it does not tell us what was the legality of concealed carry in the various States during the 18th century.

Anyone who claims 2A was never intended to discourage or fight tyranny is, at worst, a liar; at best, uninformed.

There is no mention in the 2A that overthrowing the government is a reason for the RKBA.

And more importantly, the Constitution itself clearly states that armed insurrection is illegal.
