You are 100% correct !!
We had just fought for and won our freedom and independence ( w/arms ) from an oppressive regime and the 2nd Amendment was specifically written as protection from potential domestic regimes that naturally arise from consolidated power and influence. There should be absolutely no debate over this. The 2nd Amendment was written intentionally brief and succinct to deter from misinterpretation or legal gymnastics.
Look no further than the following Amendment in the Bill of Rights for confirmation of the intent of the SECOND. The 3rd Amendment should ALWAYS be mentioned with the 2nd because it confirms the intent of the framers in linking them together:
'No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law'
Equally brief and specific, both the 2nd and the 3rd Amendment address the infringement of the British Army by use of force on the American people and continued the concerns laid out in the Declaration of Independence.

all correct, except the whole "won our freedom and independence" thing. that's just historically wrong. check out the bank bills of 1791, the creation of the monopoly over federal currency's creation and issuance (and that the founders then promptly gave that monopoly to a private institution run by european bankers - - the same bankers that paid the french to re-arm and help the american colonists against george iii).
sorry buddy, the u.s. never became independent nor free. it just switched from kings to bankers.
but on the 2nd amendment? you're correct. shall not. and on the declaration, correct again. it is americans' right and DUTY to remove such tyrannous government and install one that will, you know, be better.

It's more a commandment to overthrow the government if they try to take ANY innate right.

Notice how with the left, the argument isn't to "infringe" on rights directly, but to create the narrative that having rights in the first place is too dangerous for the common plebian to bear. That the citizens are too stupid and too fickle to truly understand how to fully utilize their rights. Really, the govt should step in and moderate the rights, because they know what is best for the people. It stinks of totalitarianism, but weirdly enough, I do believe people want to be controlled. People, at least weak minded ones love to be told what to do, what to think, what to feel, and what to believe. And from this, we get our current mess

Traitor.
And fool on top of it. Probably a paid shill. Anyone not recognizing a full scale gun grab= civil war is an idiot.
They are upping the rhertoric. Fuck em', let them ID themselves.
Meanwhile armed Americans learn more Greek.
These fuckers are literally killing kids in false flags to TRY to take away an IRREVOCABLE right.

Fucker is like 97 years old. Is this a last screw you before he goes...? He's almost old enough to be around when they wrote the thing. He should know better.

They just don't get it. People (them) will die. They don't get that the gun grab thing is causing guns and ammo sales to skyrocket and it's all going to be aimed at there heads. The delusion that they can remove the Seconded Amendment is utter lunacy.

They'll never be able to repeal it. Leftists will do what they always do, just ignore it and pass blatantly unconstitutional laws and just hope left wing courts go along with it.
