    Great so the police and national guard fulfill that function. We can safely ban private ownership now since the need they expressed is fulfilled.

      The police do not fulfill this function…and did you really want the police to have that much power?

      The national guard is a standing army they warned against as well.

        Again. Alexander Hamilton did not warn against standing Armies. He was defending the Constitution against Anti-Federalists who were worried that the Congressional power to raise an Army would lead to a dictatorship.

        Stop repeating what the NRA said and actually read what’s written. Then go look at the man’s biography.

          Lol yes he did, he even calls out having fought a war against a standing army… please provide me differently writings from him that says otherwise. The NRA can burn, stop thinking you’re discussing this with someone who is a Republican NRA member…

            Oh so even further right?

            This is one of the most famous bits of revisionist history from the gun lobby.

              O so you have nothing?

              And yes I’m somehow a right wing supporter who is pro choice and wants single payer healthcare…you still haven’t provided anything that refutes what I have. So at this point I’ll assume you’re just a troll.
