The main purpose of the 2nd amendment is to have a ready armed “militia” if needed, instead of having to employ a federal army. You had to register to be in the militia, and what arms you had were monitored and the gov could take them away if you were taken of the register. Under no circumstances, is the citizens of the USA (armed as they may) going to win a fight with the US military. Never going to happen. They don’t have the resources or expertise of advance artillery that the military has. Therefore, it’s a moot point to keep saying the 2nd amendment is to keep the government in check.. Haaaaa dream on about that thought…
