Neither does children playing politics..but yet here we are...
The 2nd Amendment is meant to ensure that the people have a "well-regulated militia" -- 300,000,000 untraceable firearms in this country with no national criteria for purchasing does not resemble what our founding fathers envisioned.

Newsflash, these arent children! Some of them are 18 and some will be 18 in the following months. if you consider that children, then you should be all in favor of the bill that increases the age from 18 to 21 in order to buy a firearm. 18 is legal age to join our military.

Wouldn't "well regulated" mean they would need regulations? But the NRA is using the 2nd to fight regulations. They are arguing against themselves.

Have you even read the opinion in Heller? Scalia specifically states that the second amendment is not unlimited and allows for regulation. The point in the case was that you can’t prevent a citizen from having a gun for personal protection

And that was before we had a standing army. Today we call that militia the National Guard. In 1792 there was a federal law requiring regular inspection of militias and there weapons, which were registered with the government.

Incorrect on so many accounts. The founders feared a standing army of any type. Meaning a national guard or regular army. This goes back as far as 1068 in England. The armies of the 18th century we mainly raised and run by gentlemen of means for their own pursuits.
