Is Gun Ownership a Right?

[stanc]

Nearly every state has laws authorizing state defense forces, and 22 states, plus the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, have active SDFs with different levels of activity, support, and strength. State defense forces generally operate with emergency management and homeland security missions. Most SDFs are organized as army units, but air and naval units also exist.

And as with the National Guard, SDF's issue any required weapons to their members.

Kind of hard to prevent tyranny in government with an armed population, if the only armed population with effective arms,"militia weapons" are the people in government. Kind of goes against the 2ndA in the first place if that is your irrational logic.

The reason for the 2A was to ensure that members of organized militias could "keep and bear" the arms they needed for militia service. The current iteration of the organized militia -- the National Guard -- issues all required weapons. And the National Guard has the same types of weapons as the US government, so the government is not "the only armed population."

As far as you believing miltia weapons are no longer needed, we will definitely have to agree to disagree on that one.

It's not a belief. It's a fact. The National Guard issues all required weapons; there is no need for members to provide their own arms.
