That may be arguable either way, re the 2nd. Regardless, they are issued and trained in the use of standardized arms. They don't grab grampy's flintlock musket off the wall on the way to muster.

Yes, we heard it from the bumbling, incompetent current resident of the Oval Office, vs his infinitely more qualified opponent on the campaign trail. Red meat for his rabid idiot supporters. You, perhaps? Doesn’t make it ok for this guy, though I doubt he was serious.

Hey JJ, you missed out on posting a far more interesting story in your link.

Donald Trump Jr. romanced Aubrey O’Day during marriage to Vanessa

Like father like son. Melania's eyes, Stormy's boobs. While his wife was pregnant too.
Sorry the picture is too large to post.

So, my point is that the 2nd is a relic of it's time, no longer applicable as intended. It's a right without a purpose that would better serve as a regulated privelege.

Your point is a moving target.

The Electorial College and Senate are also relics which we're stuck with until addressed via constitutional amendments.

Moving target?
Agree about the EC, hadn't thought much about congress critters.

I for one agree with the Founding Fathers on the EC and Senate as to the distribution of representation.

For me it has to do with a way to equalize big and small populations in States. The fact some have figured how to game the system is what needs to be addressed.

The Senate, yes. The EC, not so much. Distrust of the rabble's choices.
